Not to seem like a wise guy, but did you check the power steering fluid??? It will make noises especially at a stop if its low on power steering fluid.

all fluids in car are topped off...and if by any chance..could someone please find me a diagram of the engine bay layout...so i know where everything is exactly too...thanks

ps reservoir = on drivers side attached to the shock tower. has a black cap and fluid inside should be red.

Tighten your power steering pump belt. While standing at the front of the car looking at the engine, the tentioner pulley is at the top right.

Yes...make sure the fluid is red. Red means its ATF fluid. You shouldn't be using power steering fluid.

what would happened if someone does use the clear fluid vs. the red ATF??? just curious.

+1 on checking drive belt tension or replacement...

[180fan]

ps fluid ends up leaking. put in ATF.
