Random noise when turning??

[ps2baseball]

Anyone have any idea what this is? It happens non stop and is louder when I turn.

I also has insane death wobble. Took to dealer who addressed the steering damper. Fixed it for about a month and now it is back worse than ever.

Check your power steering fluid level.

EDIT: This is for the noise

By "addressed" the stabilizer, does that mean it was replaced? Have you checked any other steering components... drag link, track bar, etc.? Torque settings should also be checked.

There's an abundance of threads regarding the stabilizer only masking the DW problem.

If you are referring to the whine, it is the hydroelectric steering pump and is normal and can be heard on every single JL/JT when turning the wheels stationary or at low speeds (when the pump is working the hardest). You can hear them on brand new JLs/JTs in the dealer lots.

Having said that, I would have preferred JEEP to have used a beefier pump so it did not have to work so hard to turn the heavy Jeep wheels.

edit: here is a post I made in October 2020 regarding the steering whine in my 2021 JLUR on one of @chevymitchell threads about the same noise.

A steering stabilizer can mask the issue of another bad component; however, the stabilizer itself (if bad) can also be the root cause.

It sounds like your power steering pump is going crapping out on you.

Like the other guy I mentioned, I would double check your power steering fluid level. Make sure if you do need a top off that you use the Mopar brand fluid, that way you don't void any warranties on your ticking time bomb (4xE).

Thanks - I will take a closer at the wobble. Not sure exactly what they did - they seemed to think and act like it was all set in typical fashion.

That squeal I just started noticing at 25K miles.
