Default XJ6 1996 STeering wheel griding/whining noise.....

When I go to turn my car either left or right I feel like a grinding feeling, and I also hear like a whining, its really only when I am turning, not when going straight, is it maybe a belt, does anyone know, please let em knoe, thanks.

More than likely it's either the pump or the rack.

Also check the power steering fluid level. My car has a very slow leak, and I have to top off the fluid about twice a year and that fixes the"noise" you are describing.

Might be the same with yours. If you're lucky, that's all it may be.

It's probably running to another spot and then dripping. They can be tough to find.
