Sounds like a wheel bearing going bad. Had similar issue on ford explorer that ended up being front left hub bearing. If it is a front wheel drive vehicle, it could be a CV joint on drive shaft to the side of the noise.

More than likely tire issues. As simple as tire balance if not possibly a tire going south on you. Tell me more. Does it do it just at 40 or at higher or lower speeds as well, and where do you feel it, steering wheel, seat....and can you do anything to make it more pronounced?

What would cause car to sqeak when going over bumps and tuning steering wheel?

Any bushing, if its worn or old enough, causes suspension squeaking at low speeds and when going over bumps. The typical cause of squeaking noises when turning the steering wheel is low power steering fluid. The power steering fluid reservoir should be checked and the fluid topped off if it is low. Fill your reservoir with manufacturer-specified fluid (or have your oil-change service station do it). With a very low fluid level, the whining sound will be accompanied by a difficulty in turning the wheel.


Why does your SUV make a whining noise when you turn?

Perhaps low power steering fluid Perhaps power steering pump is going bad Perhaps low power steering fluid Perhaps power steering pump is going bad


You have a buick lesabre custom 98 the steering is going and its not the steering fluid what could it be?

If you have plenty of fluid it could be the power steering pump itself going bad or it could be the rack and pinion assembly.
