Default Steering Noise

HELP!!! I have a screetch sound every time I turn the steering wheel. It only does it after the car is been driven a while and warmed up and will not do it sitting still. Sound like a belt slipping but I have changed the belt and the tension is correct. THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!

check to see if your car makes the noise while its NOT running... if so, it might be a balljoint

When sitting still are you turning the wheel lock to lock? Check the tie rods

no, it only does it while driving. And only when I turn the steering wheel. I'm afraid its the power steering pump, but has anyone ever experienced this with a pump going bad, or do they just go out all at once??

A pump tends to make noise when the vehicle is moving at slow speeds, and the wheel is being turned.

With a little engine speed the pump is better able to do its job, so the noise will go away.

This does not seem like a pump problem to me.

Not sure what it could be though.



sorry I can't offer more,
