When was the last time you checked your power steering fluid?

Just checked it. Added a bit, removed all the air, sounds smooth and moves smooth especially with the front end tires up in the air. Not a sound when the tires are off the ground in the air left or right. It's when you lower the suspension down and the tires on the ground.

What condition are the lower control arm bushings?
If they are original just go ahead and replace them.

Checked it again, it feels like when it gets to almost full left turn it starts grinding like you can feel a movement in the steering wheel along with the noise. I also put a large wrench on the strut bolt under the hood and felt it through that. The control arm bushings I'm not sure, but they appeared fine from what I can see? Car had new ball joints and end links along with a knuckle put on roughly 3 years ago.

Edit - Video on youtube is spot on for the sound saying it's sway bar end links. Sound plausible? They were replaced 3 years ago.

Anyone? Wouldn't a ball joint or tie rod make noise regardless of if it was raised in the air or on ground?
