Have you checked your power steering belt and fluid. If the belt is loose it will make a nasty noise.

Very simple solution and not too expensive

I was having a similar problem. It sounded like a clicking when I turned slow and sounded liek a squeek when I turned fast. I ended up having my balljoint snap on my way home today ramming my passenger tire into my fender. If i was you I'd get it checked out ASAP

thanx everyone that sounds exactly like my problems one of my friend told me to put white grease it might go away because only old cars then most likely you need to change your joints but new cars its just a little bit rough so grease it up, not sure though i just want to change and fix it to get it over with, if anyone knows how much it might cost let me know...thanx all

Did any of you guys find a solution for this problem as i am having the same exact problem. Called up the dealer today and they are charging $110 plus tax for a diagnostic . Help is much appreciated.
