99 Ram 1500 4x4 quad cab.

started barking when in extreme turn (parking).
checked pwr steering... low but not horrible. Filled and noise diminished for a day or so.

Checked fluid- still full- however some drips showing up on ground under driver frt about 1" from tire.

barking getting worse with less turning...

Bad pwr steering pump?

Other suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Barkinng?

 

Yes- barking. (Arr arr arrr or whoop whoop whoop- whichever you prefer).
Sounds like a wailing dog.

 

I think I know what it is. When you turn, try to avoid hitting the dog that is crossing the street.

 

Silver, I was gonna go there,, Yes I was. lol, actually my wife's car does something similar, cept I think she has a bird stuck in her power stearing, cuz she has a chirp lol. No but seriously, she does have a chirp when she blocks the wheel, I assume its low Power steering fluid or bad power steering (or dying) pump,... I need to check my wife's car one out too.. cept Her car is a PITA to work on, (99 Concorde 3.2 v6)

 

We may need video documentation to solve the mystery of what animal is stuck in your steering

 

it could also be a bad ujoint

 

Might be a bad u-joint, or possibly the hub bearing. Jack it up and see if the wheel moves as if you're testing for a bad ball joint. If it moves and you don't see the ball joint move then it's probably the bearing.

 

Aww man. Everyone stole the jokes I was gonna say.

 

Does it 'bark' when the tires are moving? or also when their still? (turning but not moving)
