mumbling noise when turning car ( trying to park car)

[Enricor99]

Hi,

I noticed lately that when I make sharp turns when drivining slowley -maybe trying to park the car- I hear a grinding mumbling noise. Could this be a case of spomething wrong with the power steering system? Low power steering fluid? Is this a alignment problem? Any help would be appreciated

Could be low power steering fluid level. Have you checked? Could also be the tread pattern of the tires.

Ok, I checked the fluid and it is low. Can I use any type of power steering fluid? I have been trying to search the net but came up empty.

Owner's manual will list the preferred power steering fluid. Almost any good quality fluid will do.

Interesting. I have just the opposite problem. When I floor the car and get going really fast (150+,) I hear "WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" I can't figure out where it's coming from either!otfl

Aerodynamics. At 150 you are approaching take off speed. Pull the nose up, raise the landing gear, and see if the squeal stops.
