Why is my Kia Picanto making a strange noise when I turn the steering wheel?

When I turn the steering wheel of my Kia Picanto, I hear a strange noise that sounds like a squeaking or rattling. It seems to be coming from the front of the car. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

This could be caused by worn out or loose components in your steering system. It's important to have this checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to ensure safe driving and prevent further damage.

Another possible cause could be low power steering fluid. Check your fluid levels and top up if necessary. If the noise persists, it's best to have it checked by a professional.

If the noise only occurs when the weather is cold and goes away once the car warms up, it could be due to the cold weather causing the power steering fluid to thicken. This is a common issue and shouldn't cause any cause for concern.
