Default Big Trouble

Guys I have a big problem, or at least I think it is. Recently, I posted that when I'm at a stop and I turn the wheels I hear a weird moaning/groaning sound from where the wheels are. Now that problem has grown, the sound can be heard while I'm driving, and it's quite loud. I hate to think that it's the U-Joint, because that is one of my only steering components that is not covered by my warranty. Hopefully, one of you guys can give me some good news.

Best Regards,

Kareem

Maybe it is the power steering unit that is causing the noise. Did you check the level of your fluid? If the fluid is low, it may cause strange sounds.

Well, I took your advice and put some power steering fluid in, and some of that specialty fluid, and the problem has totally disappeared. Guess, I must just be a dumb ***. Thank for the help.

Best Regards,

was your power steering fluid actually low? Do you think you have a leak?
