Whats this noise? How can I fix it?

[ChrisXoxide]

One thing I noticed after I bought my car last month (and this is probably one of the only small things I would say I noticed wrong with it) is when I turn really sharp, and especially slow (I live on a culdesac and when I turn around it makes this noise), there is a loud rubbing noise type of thing. Sounds like it revolves. Like WOM WOM WOM WOM WOM WUM. LOL =D

How about that for a description of my problem? Its almost as if my wheel is rubbing? I don't think the car is lowered or anything, the rest of it is bone stock.

It's probably your power steering pump straining. You shouldn't be turning the wheel that hard.

Most all cars' power steering makes a noise like that when you reach the limits, mine does it too when I pull into the garage and make too tight of a turn. As soon as you start to straighten out, it goes away. I have to make a farily sharp turn to get into the garage, and sometimes it gets to the limit before I notice it. Try starting your turn a bit earlier, so you don't strain the pump. Maybe a Viper Tech out there can answer this in more detail.
