Hi guys, I have noticed that my car would make this sound when I am turning the steering wheel (please see attached video). This only happens in the morning or after when I let the car sits for the whole day. Has this happened to you guys? Is power steering pump going bad?

top up the power steering fluids first then see.

Agree with fluid top-up

mine wasn't nearly as loud, but was definitely the same noise/resistance on first turn out of my parking spot after a day at work. I told my guy when i took it into the shop for new tires and service and they told me they just topped up my fluids. haven't heard it again since(yet).

Thanks guys for your feedback.

I do feel a bit of vibration / roughness from the steering wheel when I hear this noise. Also, I had my transmission fluid done while I had my car in for recent service (40K service I think?). Is there a chance that power steering filter or something had gone wrong?

just top it up and see. its around 30 bux a bottle at dealer ?

lol, i couldn't hear anything at all.

Mine makes a creaking sound when cold...a bit like as though two dry rubber bushes are squishing and rubbing together. Happened since I the day I had the front end lowered with H&R springs.

Hope you get to fix yours.

Thanks guys. WIll try to get the fluid top up first. Is this something I can do myself?
