Power Stirring

I have a 1995 Toyota Avalon, and I'm experiencing a problem with my power
stirring. After the car is started and the stirring wheel is moved the
slightest, the power stirring makes the same noise that's made when the
stirring wheel is turned as far as it will go. I've checked the power
stirring fluid level and it's fine.

What could possible be the problem?

Sounds like you drive a blender.

The power steering pump will make a growling noise if the fluid level is
low, if there is a blockage in the system somewhere, or if the pump is
failing. If steering effort is normal, then the pump may be failing.

Thanks for a good laugh, Truckdude! I had to take a second look at the
subject line
to understand.
I wonder if the problem is in his stirring wheel?

I have been thinking about trying to get back into the business, having to
pay to obtain, maintain, insure, and fuel cars is getting to be a drag :-(
