Problem overview

Some Dodge Journey owners report experiencing a whining noise from the steering wheel while turning, which could be attributed to several issues. Common causes include low power steering fluid, worn suspension components, or damaged CV joints. Additionally, if the noise intensifies while turning, it may indicate a problem with the power steering pump. Insufficient lubrication in the upper strut bearings and bushings can also lead to creaking sounds, while dry or damaged ball joints may produce popping or creaking noises during steering. It is recommended that owners experiencing these issues have their vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and resolve the problem promptly, ensuring a safe and smooth driving experience.
