cranking noise when steering?
Has anyone else noticed a cranking/screeching noise when turning at low speeds or at stand still? The car has close to 15,000 miles, and i'm just starting to notice this noise. I took it to the dealership, but they claim its only because the tires are firmly gripping the road. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

A few years ago I took my Hyundai to the dealership because my front passenger side wheel area was making a ticking sound. It was a very loud, clear, crisp, metallic, clicking sound that would occur at perfect intervals; a 1:1 ratio to wheel revolutions. The mechanic got in the car with me, I rolled the windows down, and drove slowly in a circle about 10 times. There were a lot of rocks in the parking lot, so of course there were the sounds of rocks being run over, in addition to all of the other ambient sounds the earth and all its inhabitants were emitting at the time, as tends to happen literally all of the time... ever. Loudest and clearest of all though, was the, "TICK... TICK... TICK... TICK..." clearly coming from my wheel area. Thiiiis motherfucker goes, "oh, that's just the rocks."

I usually avoid steering when stationary because my dad taught me at a young age that its bad for the steering geometry and tires.
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if this is not true |

I rarely, if ever, steer while stationary. The only time i have done it, was when trying to figure out where the cranking sound was coming from. I was just adding additional info towards my problem with a the cranking noise, when i mentioned i heard the noise while stationary.

If it is a clearly audible, but not loud, whirring noise like an electric motor under moderate stress, then I would say it is normal. Our 2013 Highlander makes the same noise under the same conditions and it also has electric power steering assist.
