Power steering noise
After getting the power steering hose fixed at the shop today, I heard a weird noise when I was parking at home.
I turn right onto the driveway when I get home, and there is a small ramp to go over. This cause a noise that sounded like
"wooooaaaaaahhhhhhhh"
from the front of the car. It is apparent that this only occurs when the car's front end is higher and the car is making a large turn.
So is this indicative of something wrong? Or is the power steering system just lacking fluid at that particular position?

have you checked your powersteering fluid...
it's possible you have air in the system... check the fluid with engine running.. and have someone turn the wheel back and forth.. watch for bubbles.. if there are some.. keep doing that so it gets the air out. The bubbles are more like a foam

I did not notice until I got home later at night...
But I will check the fluid first thing in the morning... I was thinking of that.
But I was not thinking of air getting in the system, your comment kinda hit me in the head. Will try to drag out a co-worker tomorrow to take a look.
