depending on the type of car, it could be a sign that the alignment is out, or simply the drag link needs adjusting as on some trucks. if it is not a truck, it will probably need to be on an alignment machine to correct it
Many things can cause that, the simplest cause being lack of power steering fluid.
Low steering fluid can cause a steering wheel to whine when turning. A worn steering belt can also cause a steering wheel to whine when a car is being turned.
The 94 Thunderbird does not have a steering box, it has Rack and Pinion steering and most likely your tie rods are shot. The T-Bird has and extremely sharp turning radius and is known for being hard on steering components .
my dodge has the same problem, it is the power steering return hose being cracked or cut.
A collapsible column is where the steering rack will fold together in the event of a crash. In some modern car they dont have this, this can cause the steering collumn to go straight through the drivers skull. But now more cars are being fitted with collapsible columns to prevent the driver being killed.
Yes, I do believe General Kilobyte deserved being destroyed by the Power Rangers RPM instead of turning good, he showed no goodness within him, he was evil through and through.
How is the power steering fluid level. A low level might cause more load on the motor when turning.
Most likely a tire problem or a bent wheel/rim. There is a chance it is due to worn out components in the steering or front suspension.
There is an issue with your electrical power steering (EPS) hydraulic fluid pump. You need to check the condition of the belt (on both pulleys) as it's being driven by the engine. If you REV the engine, while turning the steering wheel, do you feel a significant amount of resistance? You may have to check both valves in the hydraulic lines as well. PS: I assume that you have sufficient amount of (clean) power steering fluid in the reservoir already.
Try turning the steering wheel back and forth. The SC has this issue and it isn't necessarily related to the car being lifted. In fact, some cars in general do this, and I suppose it's related to the steering mechanism and the automatic steering wheel lock.
try rocking (turning) the steering wheel while you turn the key. most likely it's just a bit of extra tension caused by the wheels being turned when the vehicle was last used.
if the pump has failed completely it will cause stiff turning, obviously not being assisted by power. if the pump is failing there may be a squealing sound when turned in either direction. This is not to be confused with the squealing made when turning the wheel to its limits.
