Whining noise when turning

There's this whining noise when I turn my steering wheel all the way left or right.
I checked my PS fluid but it's full.

Any suggestions?

hey,
is it whining or squealing ?
squealing could be as simple as a lose belt ?

whining- you might want to pay some attention to your differential ? try getting your diff oil changed i know a friend of mine had a loud whine when turning at low speeds, he changed the diff oil it then ran sweet.
good luck hope it helps you out !

Not sure if he stated that he was driving or not...... And turning all the way while driving.
Power steering fluid change maybe or belt.

If you are turning the steering to full left or full right and holding it at the lock position, this is normal for a hydraulic steering box like yours. It is the pump trying to continue to force the steering more, but you are at the mechanical end point.

If you have the squeal before the end point, you could have a belt or pump issue. Check the belt and pulley first as these are lower cost and easy to check. How many miles on the current belt?
