    My car just recently started to make an odd humming sound when I turn (I just replaced my power steering system in August) so I don't think that could be the problem...can I get some of your guys thoughts?

    Which ever way you are turning, it is the opposite side wheel bearing. Is it the front of back?

    Probably low on power steering fluid or power steering pump is on its way out.

    go to the pass. side of the car, look at the alternator, then lean over and try to see the ground
    from under the hood ,there's the power steering pump. seriously it' its hidden behind the engine,
    you'll need a long funnel to add fluid.,jimmy
