when i drive my car everything works fine. recently my car has this funky noise when making big turns at low speeds. it sounds like the power steering, and its not really a big deal, but its really irratating. when ever i pull out of my driveway in the morning. the noise comes when i turn to pull out and its annoying... anyone have a clue what it could be??

thanks

Rod

What kind of noise? I have a noise in similar situations. I think it is the power steering pump. But you have to elaborate to get any decent feedback.

Check to make sure your power steering fluid isnt low, and then flush your power steering fluid to be on the safe side that there is no grim or dirt in there :)

Sounds like a CHF11S (power steering/SLS fluid) leak. I have the same problem with my 540, and the described symptoms occur once every few weeks, whenever the reservoir runs low. I still haven't gotten around to replacing the leaking pressure hose - waiting until I can delete SLS. The dealer sells CHF11S for $38/litre or thereabouts - top-up your reservoir and that will get rid of the noises.

If you have a Strauss Auto the 11s is 22.90
