My TA is making a loud supercharger-like whining sound when I'm accelerating and it gets way louder when I'm turning, I lust bought this car late last month and the sound was there when I bought it but it was much quieter so I did'nt think anything of it. It has a little less than 57,000 miles on it. Also the sound changes pitch some when I'm turning, the sound gets deeper. Is my power steering about to go out? Anybody have this happen? What is it

Sounds like your alt pulleye

really? why does turning have an effect on the sound of it then? Do I need to replace the bearing in the pulley?

anybody else have any input. I have a second vehicle so I have all the time in the world to work on it.

Hmm then it might be your power steering pulleye or an alt pulleye.

I have the same problem but only after i go WOT it will make the sound and then about 2mins later of reg. driving it goes away it drives me nuts......

Put some power steering fluid in and see if that corrects your problem. If it does then check for a leak. If not then you can check off the steering as not the problem.

Sounds like a power steering pump going out to me...When your turning it add resistance against the pump making the howling sound. Pulley can make squeaking sounds but I have never seen one howl, pumps and gears do that.

I would say power steering also, check the fluid. Mine's doing the same thing.

i would check this first.

my car used to do that. every time i took a hard sharp turn or did a few donuts it would wine like a roots blower until the car sat for the night. topped off the power steering fluid and its never come back since. been about a year and a half now.

toped off the power steering fluid.... problem solved! Now I feel dumb for even being worried about it lol. I've never heard that sound before though so I was pretty concerned

xricer

no wait its back, damnit!!

make sure it's still topped off. Sometimes there's air pockets. Also sometimes once they start to make the noise it will never really go away.
