Is your power steering fluid low?

I agree with MoD. It sounds like either the power steering fluid is low, or the pump is going out.

Well, if it makes a "whining" sound, its the pump or fluid

if its clicking or similar, its mechanical and youll have to take off the rim and check it out

But usually, if its the pump, it whines in both directions, not just one

fluid is fine.. only one direction to the right.. its been too cold to check it but i probably will take it to the shop and have them look at it
