WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.4 a7 l/ B" T& U
WHAT: The pressure relief valve inside the pump is dumping excess power-steering hydraulic fluid back into the reservoir. It's supposed to do that, although maybe a little more quietly.
6 a8 j1 {4 A: d! T$ C- V' n: }7 u: YURGENCY: No big deal.
; B3 S- c, K! r3 H- s! I3 nFIX: It's normal. Actually, you should check the level of power steering fluid in the pump. Don't hold the wheel hard on the stop like that; it annoys pedestrians and is tough on the belt.- }8 h5 X% b2 z" W' g

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.
