Steering ?

Steering is ok but everytime i turn the wheel in either direction there is a little whine. It is not a popping sound. I am decent at replacing parts and know a little about cars but not diagnosing them. I think it sounds like a pump issue

have you checked your power steering fluid? it sounds like it's low.

The only thing it really could be is power-steering related. Check the tension and condition of your power steering belt (it could be slipping).....and the fluid level/ condition. If the belt is OK.....fluid level/ condition is OK....yet the sound gets worse over time..... then your PS pump is dying.
