Why is my Vauxhall Astra making a strange noise when turning?

I recently noticed that my Vauxhall Astra is making a strange noise when I turn the steering wheel. It's almost like a high pitched squeaking sound. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

This could be a sign of a worn out power steering belt. It's important to have this checked and replaced if necessary as a worn belt can cause damage to other components in the vehicle.

It could also be an issue with the power steering pump. This may need to be replaced if it is damaged or malfunctioning. I suggest taking it to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

One common cause of steering noise is low power steering fluid. Check the fluid levels and top up if necessary. However, if you notice the fluid levels are consistently low, there may be a leak in the system.
