So a couple days ago I started getting this weird whine from my power steering whenever I turn the wheel. I checked my pwr steering fluid and its good. Any ideas on what it is? Is something going out?

They'll make a sound when you turn the wheel as far as it will go.

machracer11

Yeah its not that sound its a bit more high pitched and it happens all the way through the turn from right off center on

mine whines too when I steer, I think its normal.. I think some cars do it, some maybe not

machracer11

Yeah that is what I thought at first too but it just started and ive had the car about 3 years and never had a problem with it before, It almost sounds like a bushing is going out. guess i will be getting on the creeper this weekend haha

If you have the"non-greaseable" ball joints and tie rods, poke a small hole in the boots and squirt some WD40 in them (with the hose)

I have no idea if that is what I have or not, steering is something that i dont know much about it... its an 03 Mach1

O.K.,I know nothing of your knowledge level. Do you know wht the tie rods and ball jooints look like? If so, look to see if they are grease-able. They will have a grease fitting on them or not. If not, they need some lube. You can do one at a time until the noise goes away and that will tell you which one is bad.
