Noises problem
1998 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

When I turn there is a rumbling or groaning sound coming from the front end. The steering is fine. The sound only occurs when I turn. The sound gets worse the sharper I turn. Any ideas?
Thanks Dave.

Check your power steering fluid level. It may be low. If it is, add with Dexron III ATF, not regular power steering fluid.
