Whistling sound upon turning steering wheel (GC 2003)
 

Folks,

Since my Jeep dealer adjusted off-centered steering wheel on my 2003 GC, the
steering wheel started making whistling sound more apparent when turning the
wheel. What's weird is that the noise seems to go away sometimes, if I turn
off the engine and restart. Any idea what might have gone wrong? Thanks in
advance.

The wheel is making a whistling sound?? or is it coming
from elsewhere. First thing I'd check is the PS fluid.

Thank you. That was a quick response. :-)

To clarify, I think that the sound itself is coming into passenger
compartment from the engine compartment. When I open up hood and try to
listen where it's coming from, it's hard to tell other than it seems to be
from right side of engine compartment, looking down from the front of GC,
since all other parts making sound at the same time. PS fluid is almost at
maximum line and relatively clean. The whistling noise sounded like air
leaking out or being sucked in with hood open.

Hmm.. did you check all the seals around the door and hood just
in case they got knocked loose?

It could just be "a Jeep thing". You should hear the whistle my
engine makes. :)
