Hi guys,  
  
 I own a 1985 Volvo, and it has recently started to “groan” when I am turning corners. I’m not sure what the problem could be; sometimes it’s not so bad, while other times it’s very loud and the steering seems to be affected.  
  
  
  
 Any suggestions?  
  
  
  
 thanks,

Worn power steering pump or maybe a worn wheel bearing.
