If it only does it on full lock, its the drive belt that runs the p/s pump. Get someone to turn your wheel (with the engine running of course) to full lock, while you have a look at the belt. You can normally see them slipping. Just need to tighten this belt.

and you should never keep it on full lock to start off with.. its not good for the P/S unit... if its making noises get it checked out you could have a slight leak in one of the lines... which can course it to make them noises.. plus it could be low on fluid too The belt could be slipping but thats not always the case... But yes check just to make sure the belt is not slipping...

have you recently had a service or anything cos sometime they top up p/steer fluid up wiht the fluid out of a pressure hose and it iarraids the fluid. THe fluid will be really bublby kinda frothing white. If it is that it will go away after a bit of a drive

also forgot to add if there is a blockage in the system it can make them noises too... Pretty much the pump is protesting at you in other words its saying i dont like it back off
