I recently found out that my power steering started squeeking when I turn left (but way less often when I turn right... almost never). Is this a problem with my power steering pump? Could it be worse? When i turn my wheel, i hear some squeeking(some metal) noise and even I turn my steering a little bit.
Could it be the accessory belt? If you are not sure, spray the belt with water. This should cause it to slip more than it is, if this is indeed your problem.
I found that happened when I drive slowly or stand still (while I try to turn the steering wheel a little bit left or right). Plus when I drive slowly, I heard that squeeking noise comes from the front wheel. I only hear the noise when I drive slow or stand still, and I feel very very little bit of restricted toward left or right, and seems not as smooth as normal. I don't hear much or feel much when I drive fast. what's accessory belt? where is it?
Thank you so much for answering. Help please!!!:crybaby2:
It sounds like you just need power steering fluid. I had the same problem. I ended up using a product for leaking power steering fluid and since then the noise is pretty much gone.
Could you instruct me how to find and fill up the power steering fluid? which one is for power steering?
Ms_Rell, which brand you use for your "leaking power steering fluid"?
It misses its mechanic, and thinks your wallet is getting too thick.
With vague descriptions come vague diagnostics. It could be as simple as a need for a belt adjustment or replacement, or as serious as a harmonic balancer beginning to die. In between those are failing tensioner bearings, a dying power steering pump, noisy brake pads, exhausted power steering fluid and a surfeit of other, well-meaning guesses.
