Just lately I hear a tin squeeking type noise when I turn the the front wheels whilst moveing slowly (ie especially when parking). The power steering fluid has been checked. Any sugestions this might be caused from?

Strange you should say that, I'm starting to get funny PAS noises too, but it sound more like the pump's really struggling. Didn't happen this morning.
No idea what that tin-sound is. I'd say it'd would closer inspection, especially if it's happening everytime you drive slowly.

mine does the same intermittantly, apparently its the belt which isnt under warranty as it is seen as a consumable/wear and tear item. 20 quid (40 aus dollars approx) last time i asked.
Possibly could be the stone guard at the back of the disc touching someting ????
Worth taking the wheels off and having a look

The noise only sounds every now and then....
What belt are you talking about Brendy?
How often should power steering fluid be flushed?
Yeah Chester sounds as if the pump is struggling.
Its only just started to happen since recieving a work vehicle. I only drive her once or twice weekly now.
