This does not happen often yet, but sometimes when I make a turn I hear a squeaking sound from my steering wheel. I open my window and listen to what is going on outside my car, but it really sounds like its coming from somewhere near the steering wheel mechanism rather than from near to where the wheels of the car are. When this happens, the car will steer fine - its just the sound. It's rather loud too. Also, this only happens when turning while in motion. If I'm parked and turn the wheels, I do not hear the sound. So far there are no other associated symptoms and power steering fluid level looks ok. Any ideas?

could be the U-joint that connects to the rack? take off the steering column covers and see if there's any rusty parts in there? I would lubricate it w/ some silicone spray and see if that takes care of it.

That's a dry lower ball joint crying.Comment

If it is indeed a ball joint, replace it ASAP! A failed lower ball joint will most certainly make you crash.

Power steering fluid is low. Mine sounded just like that and thats what it ended up being. Make sure its full, it might look full but it isn't.Originally posted by CB7 Sleeper View PostComment

The fluid definately looks low now that I look at it again and it's a brown color. I thought it was genuine Honda power steering fluid is red... Is it? I recently had the engine replaced and now I'm wondering if they put the right fluid in. I'm going to flush and refill the fluid anyway.Originally posted by Ralphie View Post
I am also going to check the ball joints. Thanks for all the advice!

Mine does the same thing, but it is my tire or rim rubbing on my rubber brake line when i am turning..., mostly when i back up and turn. I just haven't re-routed it around the strut in the proper manner. Maybe this will help.Comment

it could just be your steering rack this happened in one of our old cars, replaced that and boom sound was gone, if all else fails give it a tryComment
