1ptturbo,

More than likely, you are hearing the "nylon rubbing sound." You know, the sound you hear when you rub your fingernail on a nylon windbreaker.

First, get under the car and look for the two power steering lines running to the bottom of the radiator. These lines will be a combination of metal and rubber tubing. The lines run side-by-side near the oil pan. If you see any liquid or a lot of dirt accumulation (oily dirt) on the metal-to-rubber joints or lines themselves, take it to the dealer immediately. You most like have a ruptured rack and pinion seal. I had this happen to me last year.

Make sure the power steering pump is properly filled.

Scott
