Steering Problems and Weird Noise
Ok guys bare with me, I have this weird noise coming from the front left of my car, it sounds like wood creaking or something strectching(the noise started as a loud pop when i turn) and it only happens when I accelerate(slowly) from a stop, or when I am making a turn. My steering whell is slightly cocked to the right, so when I put it straight it the car drifts to the left and when I am on the highway and let go of the wheel it goes left as well. Im guessing the allignment is extremely off but I cant figure out the noise, its been to the dealer 3 times and they say nothing is wrong. Oh I forgot to mention I have a low tire pressure light as well, all my tires are brand new and filled to specification, maybe that has something to do with it. One more thing, when I im sitting still and cut the wheel or make a hard turn while moving, I get that high pitched whine that you would here had you lost power steering. I hope I explained myself well enough for you guys to comment.

Now on to the serious answer, have you checked you PS fluid? These things are notorious for fluid loss.
