I have annoying squeek/squeal or something similar when I have the steering wheel fully turned to the point where I am unable to turn it anymore. I can't tell where the squeek is coming from though. At first I though the rear-end my be the culprit, but I heard when that is failing it makes a grinding sound. Perhaps it is just the power steering or the side of the tire? Anybody else have something similar?

 

Dumb question, but is it coming from your power steering pump?

 

I don't think its the pump. That happened on my previous firebird but this sounds different. Thanks for the suggestion though.

 

Does it make the sound sitting still turning the wheel or when you are moving????

 

Only makes the sounds when the wheel is fully turned and won't turn anymore and the car is moving.

 

Might be the front wheel bearing hub assembly.... But, mine just a humming noise at highway speeds going into a gradual turn....

 

I don't know about the rear ends in your car but I had a similar problem in my 95 when the rear diff oil lost all it's viscosity (previous owner never changed it????) and the clutches were squeeling pretty bad.

 

my rear end makes a squeak when turning left and seems to be once per wheel revolution. My oil is fresh too, and was pretty fresh when I changed it, but idk the full history of it. I know the lsd works though

 

mine makes a squeeking sound when i only turn left, and its not constant.
