#3 of 7 creaking sound when turning by lindasue58 Feb 24, 2008 (8:59 am)
I have a 2002 which I purchased new. I have had no problems until now. After the last oil change (about a month ago) I noticed when turning the steering wheel that there was this creaking sound. It only happens when I am going slow (turning a street corner), backing and turning (like out of the driveway or parking space). I have not noticed it at all if I am steering on a curve or a gradual turning of the steering wheel.

Replying to: lindasue58 (Feb 24, 2008 8:59 am) I noticed when turning the steering wheel that there was this creaking sound.   Check the power steering fluid level and the PS pump belt for excessive play.   Also, did you check for a similar problem in the message right above yours?

Replying to: tedebear (Feb 26, 2008 9:38 pm) I did check the power steering fluid and it is fine. I did see the message above and wondered about that. I do have an appointment with a car repair place this Sat., so hopefully they are honest and I will have some answers. One thing is that the creaking primarily occurs after the turn when I am steering back. Also, it does not always do this and it seems to become more noticable after I have been driving for awhile. Thank you for the feedback! Replies to this message: drej (Jul 17, 2009 1:21 pm)

#7 of 7 Power Steering Temporary Failure by superrak Nov 03, 2009 (12:41 pm)
When starting my 2001 Cruiser, I had no power steering. I tried to move the car, but the steering was nearly impossible. I pulled back into the parking spot, left the car running and then suddenly I had power steering back. In the next 15 minutes or so, I heard a periodical "swishing sound" come from the car, but since then I have driven the car about 150 miles and have had no further issues. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Thanks
