Why is my Vauxhall Astra making a strange noise when I turn the steering wheel?

I have noticed a weird noise coming from my Vauxhall Astra whenever I turn the steering wheel, especially when I am driving at low speeds. It sounds like a whirring or grinding noise, and it's starting to worry me. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Jake, from your description it sounds like you may have a problem with your power steering system. This could be caused by a variety of issues such as a worn out belt, low power steering fluid, or a faulty pump. It's best to get it checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid any further damage.

Hey Jake, another possibility could be an issue with your wheel bearings. If they are worn out or damaged, they can make strange noises when turning. It's important to get this checked out soon, as driving with faulty wheel bearings can be dangerous.

Hi Jake, have you recently had any work done on your car? If so, it's possible that something wasn't reassembled correctly and is now causing the noise. It's best to take it back to the mechanic who did the work and have them check it out.
