Mine pony for some reason at some point when i'm going real slow like in a parking lot or when i hit the accel when the light turns green my car does that damn whyning noise. even sometimes while i'm driving it will come out of nowhere and it does real bad too at times, i check my power steering but its fine so i ask ya'll the experts, what do ya'll think it is? that noise always comes from the rear

sure its not the belts?

PowerSteering makes a slight whining noise... its supposed to... so if its that bad then you'd probably need to replace it...

I would need to hear it to make a accurate diagnosis

the belts are fine. there are times when the whining noise is slight, but half the time that whining noise gets a llittle loud and it does it alot when i stop and i start to drive again
