So I have had my 2004 xterra for about 6 months now, and recently it has started to may a weird whining noise when I turn my steering wheel. I have checked my power steering fluid levels a few times and it isn't going down, but the problem is getting slightly worse as time goes on. Recently when I turn I have started to feel a slight tugging on the wheel as well.

Any help would be appreciated! I just hope my power steering pump isn't going out :crying:

Thanks in Advance

The power steering belt is too loose or may need a new one if it has crack marks on the inside of the belt.

So just tighten up the belt? wish I had asked sooner! I'll give it a shot and report back. Thanks!

If its coming from the pump itself it could be the bearings starting to go, aka time for a new pump.

Remove the hoses, drain out as much fluid as you can, use fresh ATF and new bulk hose/fuel line with worm gear clamps. Solved it for me.

Yep. Fluid could be in need of a change, or that belt is bad.
