My car sings to me every morning.

..Always moaning and whining as i turn the wheel. Ugh, i got plenty of power steering oil, does the pump need replacing or something? What's this gonna cost me? What happens if i leave it alone and not do anything? Are there consequences?

Only really occurs from cold starts. In the afternoon as im leaving work to go home she is shy as she should be and doesnt sing at all.

05 TL btw.

Plz help.

Maybe you should get a 07-10 bmw 335i to replace it

look up power steering o ring recall , common issue with this 3g just rebuild the pump for cheaper.


Consequences: you may die from insanity after hearing it creak for too long

Power steering, either one o-ring, both o-rings or you need a new pump/rebuild. o-rings are $1.

Yep. Sounds exactly like my car when I bought it.

Bought the o-ring and replaced it in a few minutes.
