    Welcome to TGC...

    ya mine just started to do that too. not sure what it is but it only happens at certain points of turning. I think I may be low on Power Steering fluid or something but I am gonna get that all checked up on Saturday when i get my oil changed.

    Check that and see if its low, if its not i dont know what to tell you

    If its what I think it is, its the lower ball joint. Mitsu recalled them and will replace em for free. I just got mine fixed on Tues , before that it was making a grinding noise when turning which sounds like your problem. I bring it to Mitsu quickly if I were you.

    mitsu dealer?

    so i can just bring it to the mitsu dealer and they can replace it?? cuz it does make a grinding noise.. i thought i might have been the axle.. and that would cost alot to fix if it was.

    Hey if you got a reliable mechanic bring it to him first and let him tell you the problem. ThATs what I did and he told me it was the lower ball joint and it might be best to let Mitsu fix it. So I called Mitsu and told them I need to replace the Lower ball joint and we scheduled an appointment. Definetley make sure you mention the recall so they dont try to jerk you. They should replace both sides in the front.

    No one on this website will be able to tell you exactly what it is without hearing it and test driving it. It could be anything from a clockspring,
    steeringshaft, rack, pump, the only way your going to find out is by
    figuring out where the noise is coming from. if you can't do it yourself
    take it to mitsu and they'll bend you over and fix it.
