The noise is more present when steering to the left, and if I try steering while parked, it almost doesn't move, I have to put serious body weight to make it turn. I have replaced my steering dampener, and though it feels better at high speeds, it did not help my problem at all. Any ideas as to what is wrong? I always have plenty of power steering fluid
The power steering pump is failing? Loss of serpentine belt tightness due to belt tensioner failure. Does the light come on showing that alternator is not charging the battery.?
