Today i noticed a whining noise whenever i turned the steering wheel.
I am concerned because i want to be on top of every minimal issue before it turns into a major problem.
It whines and it gets louder as i accelerate.
Which brings me to another questions, for those of you guys with a superchager, how loud does your supercharger get when you drive; from lets say 0 to about 35-40 mph inside your cabin what does it sound like.
Because this whining noise didn't sound "right".
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Steering pump?

Oh also before i forget, i stopped by autozone just to see if anybody would know, ( i know, i know they're not mechanice buts still) they said it could be the steering pump and they said they would check to see if they had one in stock and they asked me this: ... with or without a reservoir?

I would think it would have a reservoir... right? otherwise where would they fill up ?

IDK, kinda lost, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Very possibly it's the power steering pump. Same thing happened to me and is pretty common apparently.

 

sounds like it could be the power steering. check & make sure the power steering fluid is at the proper level, you may be able to solve this problem by topping off the power steering fluid. if that winds up being the case, check it every so often to make sure its not leaking / loosing fluid.

 

You have a PM...i'm leaning highly toward power steering pump...

 

I would have to agree with MAMONTE on this. I just got mine back from the shop.

 

Got your PM Michael, and thanks everybody! very useful information and i can take a breath of relieve that its sounds like its not a major issue.

 

yup i just had the same problem. most def probably power steering. mine is leaking so i gotta keep filling it up so the pump doesnt go bad until i get the time to fix it.

 

Its dark to do anything to check, but will definitely do tomorrow.
If i have to change it, i can get it cheap from autozone.
Also, brittany I noticed that you got your Intimidator badges congrats!

 

normaly wouldnt recomend stop leak but for power steering $8 lucas easiest way to go just a little thick in the winter...

 

I had that problem too, then I pulled over and let the wife out. lol
