I have a 98 Sebring with 125K miles. Since the cold weather started
my car has been making awful groaning sounds whenever I turn
(specifically sharp/fast turns). Once the noise is initiated after a
turn, it will continue until the engine heats up. It is a vibrating
groan that gets louder and higher pitched when I turn but stays when I
brake/accelerate. If I take my first few turns VERRRYY carefully or
wait for the engine to heat up, the sound will not initiate. I do not
hear this noise in warm weather.

I am a girl who knows nothing about cars. Any information you can
share will help me out a lot before I take my car in. I want them to
fix the right thing for a reasonable price. THANKS A TONNNNNNN!!!!

If the fluid is not low have the P/S System flushed. A lot of people will
try and sell you a power steering pump...be careful. This is a common
complaint when the temp gets cold.
