My car is making a whining noise when turning?
I have a 2006 V6 manual transmission Ford Mustang. It has about 110 thousand miles on it so I'm aware that parts will start needing replacement but with this certain problem I don't know what exactly.
Whenever I turn (whether it's sharpe or a mild turn) I hear a whining noise. Now my guess is that it's the power steering or my vehicles rear end needs to be replaced. I really hope it's just the power steering but I've had mechanics at Firestone auto tell me that they think it's the rear end.
No it isn't
It's not likely your read end, it's your power steering pump. Unfortunately, Ford power steering pumps were naturally a big noisy from that era. Now that it is a decade old it has just gotten that much more noisy.
It's probably your power steering pump. It may even just be low on power steering fluid.
Have you checked the power steering fluid? Sounds like it might be low.
- My car is making noise when I turn the wheel, what could be causing it? I put power steering fluid in and double checked it to make sure it was full, which it is. But whenever I turn the wheel it still makes a terrible noise, i almost want to not drive it anymore just because of that noise. Anyone have an idea what it could be? Is it the power steering pump maybe? If it helps, my car is a 2001 Ford Mustang, FWD. The noise is coming from the front of the car.
- Car is making creaking noise? I have a 2011 Ford Fusion SE and it's been making a creaking noise when turning or hitting bumps/driving rougher roads. It's been to the mechanic a few times for the power steering recall and a damaged hub bearing and wheel due to hitting a pot hole. I was told by one mechanic that it needs new ball joints and lower control arms. Should I get a second opinion or is that the main cause of this noise? I recorded it and can send upon request. May post on YouTube too.
- Drove over hill too fast and car is making a thumping noise? I have a 2003 ford focus. Today I was driving and went to make a turn fast and went up a hill and it hit my car and made a loud noise. When pulled up my car started making a thumping noise I thought that it was the tire but when I popped the good and accelerated while in drive the engine was moving up it's still running fine but moving and making a thump when accelerating. What could be wrong with it please help.
