Can someone help me with this? Whenever I come to a near stop, I can hear a whining noise in the front of my car. It is most noticable when I push the clutch all the way down. The noise is very similar to when you turn the wheel all the way to one end, and you hear a whining noise. Anyone have an idea of what it may be?

Just as an aside, again it sounds like me cranking the steering wheel all the way, that whiirrrr sound, and it happens MOSTLY when I fully press the clutch, but it also happens sometimes when I am at a crawl and in neutral. It doesn't happen at any regular speeds.

is it a squeaking sound? Could be an acessory belt going, if your car has one at all!

Check your power steering fluid level. A lot of them tend to get noisy when the level is down and there is no load on them.

I will check the power steering fluid, but more and more, I am thinking it is my recently done brake job. It only occurs when I am crawling, very slowly, and never at a stop, which has led me to think that something is rubbing. Also, only rarely however, when I stop, the brakes feel weird. It could just be them. I will have it all checked this weekend I think.

hm.... a whining noise hey?
Maybe someone slipped into your car at night and installed a supercharger. Let me ask you one question: Do you notice your car accelerating a lot quicker than before?:D :nut: :thumbsup:
