It’s hard to explain … it’s not a clunking, grinding or clicking noise. It’s kinda like hearing your idle fluctuate. I will try to explain it, um kinda like: vrrrrr then when i stop turning the wheel, the noise goes away. If I start turning the wheel again (from stand still or slow slow speeds) the noise will begin again. ---

If it’s a whining like noise, it’s your power steering fluid. Fill it up to the adequate level and try again. ---

Check the level of your power steering flud. And when toping up make sure to youse Dextron III Automatic Transmition Fluid. Not P/S Fluid. I had a guy come to CT his pump failed on his nissan because he just used P/S fluid. You can also try using Lucas Powersteering Fix, that stuff is awesome for lubricating all your seals and bearings. ---
