Default MORE Help!!! My Car is STILL Humming??

MY01 WRX, The suspension/wheel or something is humming when I cornering. It only happen sometimes and mostly during slow turn eg, parking. When I drive/corner faster, perfectly fine. Whats wrong? Is the wheel roll away?? Lol!!! Advise needed, thanks

Updates: Power steering fluid is fine. Its still humming. But I realize it hum when the steering/wheel returning to its original position = straight. It don't hum when turning, it hum after turning and when I return it to the original position. More opinions please.

Check your power steering fluid.

+1 mine always had a really annoying whinning sound when i was slow moving and turning the wheel.... just check for any leaks and post back here so we can get a better understanding.

or start car up and get a mate to turn the wheel and get it to make the sound again, and then locate it and work from there
