Power Steering talking back (?)

[Stephen R.]

It's cold outside. I turn the steering wheel off center to take a turn and hear (and feel) a mild grinding noise. If I turn and hold the wheel at a stop, same thing. HOWEVER it does not do this all the time.

Have any of you had a bad power steering pump?

No problems as of yet. But mine whines since the day i brought it home. Will take it in as soon as the weather warms up.

not trying to be a wise ass but is the fluid level ok???

I also have recently noticed that when I turn the steering wheel slightly from one side to the other on my GT, I get a sound like rubber squeaking. I have checked the power steering fluid and it is on full.

Will probably take it to the dealer next week although I hate letting it out of my sight.

HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALER BLEED THE LINES AND THE NOISE STOPPED.

air in the line??

It's getting worse now. Particularly when stopped, turn the wheel a little and begin a normal acceleration. PS pump seems to be going bad... and just turned 30k yesterday. Oh oh!!!!!!!

I just bought my 2002 pt used with 8200 miles. It has developed a low chirping sound when i am making a right or left turn at idle speed. Has anyone had this problem? If so have you had it corrected and how?

Thanks
