Question Weird noise when making a turn

Not sure if this belong in this section. Lately whenever I make a turn, left or right, I hear this moaning sound when Im turning the steering wheel. It only happens when Im making a turn at like 5mph. It sounds like its coming from the back though I could be wrong. Any ideas?

Sounds like the power steering pump.

The noise only happens when the car is moving. If I was at idle and turning the wheel, You dont hear the noise. Could that still be the power steering pump?

Yes, typically a PS noise will happen when the engine is under load @ low speed. First thing, have you checked PS fluid level?

Coming from the back? You need some GM limited slip additive. The plates will groan, pop, squeak and clunk-more noticeable on slow sharp turns.
