Singing when I steer!

Anyone have any experience with problems in the power steering department?
My car is singing when I turn the wheel. .... Topped off the fluid to make sure that wasn't the issue but .... Still singing..
And Not A happy Tune Might I add

Getting ready to make and appt with MAG so feedback would be appreciated. I would rather hear from my peeps first before scheduling an $$$ appointment.

Thanks in advance for replies.

I hope you put the correct fluid in there. The wrong stuff can toast the seals.

PS problems are unfortunately all to common on our cars. MAG should be able to let you know what is up.

Mine does it all the time, Phil has told me it's a common problem and there's nothing really to be done.

It used to be annoying because it's a high-pitched buzzy sort of sound. Now it makes me giggle.

I was in the drive through at Tim Horton's one morning & the lady asked how I liked my electric car. Guess that whining means it is electric.

Well, the steering part is, but what the heck.

Many of them do whine. It is part of the fun. Turn up the radio.
