steering wheel makes noise while turning

[wasabisashimi]

When i am turning my steering wheel on my 2000 Honda Odessy, I can hear minor rubbery/rubbing noise.

Is this a big problem? Will changing the powersteering fluid solve this issue?



Any thoughts?

Could be your PS pump cavitating due to low fluid. When was the last time you checked or changed the PS fluid?

cant remember the last time i changed fluid, what color should it be? i can check to see if its dirty or due for a change.

You dont necessarily need to change the power steering fluid, unless there is shiny silver partials in the fluid, that usually means your pump is going out.

Just check that the level is not low, common thing not many people check
