power stearing

[maitham]

hi
i have just noticed that i can feel slight vibrations in my stearing wheel. Also when i move it now i can hear a groaning noise and if i turn it to full lock i notice that the revs drop and a little squeeking noise is heard.
Any ideas
thanks

Sounds like u might need some power steering fluid.

when you steer to the max the wheel gives you and then push it a little more drop in revs and sound you describe is normal. you force the power steering to go against the mechanical resistance of not being able to go any further.

is that noise noticeable during driving or also during stand steel?

the vibrations can be an improper balancing of the wheels. does it occur at certain speeds only?

sounds like the belt might need tightened and the fluid level is also low does the sound happen when you turn the wheels both left and right if only one way would the alignment be out ?
