Hi guys, a couple days ago my car started making this wierd noise when I steer the wheel even a little to either side... the sound is very very low when the wheel is still but when I move it, it gets quite loud anyone has any idea what it could be?

Here is a little recording of the sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZIIxGznZI8

Sorry for the dirty car :P and thanks in advance for the help.

sounds like ur power steering related but dont know which part exactly

 

Check your power steering fluid level.

 

fluid level, or pump is gone.
i got the same noise after doing donuts too much and mitsu covered under warranty. i miss warranty so much.

 

Indeed fluid was very low! just filled it and everything is back to normal Thanks a lot for the help guys, I appreciate it.

 

The power steering fluid in my car is right at the add mark at 66K - the same place it was the day I drove it out of the show room when new. If your fluid is low you have a leak. Time to start looking.

 

I will look into that over the weekend to check if I can find a leak, thanks
