Dodge Caravan Steering Problem
My engine(?) makes this whining sound.
It does not make this sound all the time and I am not sure whre it is comming from.
It would make it mostly after a hard 40 to 50 mile drive.
The sound pitch also changes when you are stopped, in neutral and rev the engine slightly.
This also happens when you are stop and turn the steering wheel.
This morning as I left home it whined all the way to work. Strange, because it was parked all nite.
All my fluid levels are ok.
Thanks, Fitz
