Weird sound

Recently the weather started to get colder and I noticed a whine when ever I turn my wheel.

Oh I thought he was joking because a million people start up threads about the power steering whenever it gets cold, even though the question gets answered every other day and it's usually just the $.95 gasket. Maybe he was serious?

Now that I think about it, mine was replaced last year and I still had the whine... Haven't heard it this year though. If I do I might have them flush the PS fluid. my mechanic was actually doing like 5 other things the day he replaced that though so maybe he forgot. Haha

It's usually Mr. Crabs that's whining.

Wow- I have been experiencing this noise recently and didn't even have to do a search for this one. Sounds exactly like my problem. Thanks Mojofo! I'll get the part and replace it this weekend- I thought it was going to be something more serious.
