check your ps fluid, it might be low, or check your ps pump belt.
When the car and wheels aren't moving, turning the steering wheel creates a lot of strain on the power steering pump due to the much higher load. A small amount of noise is acceptable due to this high load. Regardless, check your power steering fluid reservoir and make sure it's topped off. If it's full, look in the mirror (your driving habits) to fix the annoyance.

How do i know how full is full in my 2003 2.2L Ecotec Reservoir. ?

Not 100% sure on the 2.2 Eco, but on the 2.4 LD9 the gauge was part of the reservoir cap.

We'll someone will know, i see a L and H on resoviour dipstick but anyhows dont wanna say anything til i hear someone who knows, this is for 2.2L 03 Ecotec.
If you can't figure out the L and the H then I suggest taking it to a professional.

^LAWL!
The dipstick it self on an Eco is a bit longer than a Quad's, however they both work exactly the same...
Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

Amazing lowered? On stock struts/shocks? No wonder you have so many issues that you don't know how to fix. You don't know how to lower a car and you don't know how to use a @!#$ dipstick haha. Give up on life because you suck at it.

LOL its not from lowering it on stock car has 210K on it, takeR easy tard and ur gay ass truck from 06 is a joke tho its probably njot a 06 but if it is you're retarded bet u wish u had my 07 ! later dick weed.
Yes it is from lowing it on stock struts, however I will concede that the car having 210k on it does make it worse.
But just the fact that you admitted that it's bad from the car having 210k on it makes me LOL because now we really know your ride is pure @!#$.
Now run along like a good little ignorant noob
