Loud steering noise in park
When my car is parked I keep turning my steering wheel back and forth and is making a loud screeching noise. I checked to see if there was power steering fluid leaking, but can't find any leaking out are on the ground. Do you guys now what this can be? I can't really hear the noise when I'm driving I'm confused.

I checked the fluid and it was full? I thought about the power steering pump. but then there was fluid. The sound is like a raking sound are screeching sound? I never thought about the belt. I will check that.

Do you hear this sound when your wheel is fully turned to one side? Or do you hear it throughout the whole turning process? It is a little hard to pinpoint without hearing it, thus the many questions.

I've been experiencing the same noise on my '98 gs400. My boy had his bushings go out so he thought that might be what it was. Had the shop check the bushings but that wasn't it. So...... This belt? Where is it and is a DIY?

I just came back from the shop. They said there is nothing wrong with the car. I can't hear anything while I'm in the car. I can only hear when I turn the wheel outside of my car. i did the for the first time last week and that is when i notice it. I just sounds kind of loud. The guy at the shop said when you turn the suspension is going to make some noise. The sound is almost like my 5.0 mustang when i turn the wheel. Anyways can't hear the noise when I'm in the car and it still turns and doesn't leak power steering fluid. Maybe, my car is just getting old I do have a 160,000 miles on it.
