Power Steering Sounds


Recommended Posts

Whenever I turn my wheels either left or right at low speeds, less than 30 mph, I hear a grinding sound in throughout the passenger cabin and the car vibrates. I added enough power steering fluid but the problem still exists. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hard to say. A failing PS pump shouldn't be heard throught the car, you can hear it whining or cavitating if you listen. It won't shake the car though. So I'd guess you have a bushing issue at the control arms or sway bar or a clock spring issue or the hydraulic steering mechanism iteslf. More likely the first two than the last. Get an alignement and watch it. Check your bushings. Have them replaced or do it yourself if you know how.
