Why is my Kia Sportage making a strange noise while turning?

I recently noticed that my Kia Sportage is making a strange noise whenever I turn the steering wheel. It almost sounds like a grinding noise. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

It's possible that there could be an issue with your wheel bearings. I would recommend taking your Kia Sportage to a mechanic as soon as possible to get it checked out.

Another potential cause could be low power steering fluid. Check the fluid levels and if they are low, top it up and see if the noise persists.

It's always best to err on the side of caution with any strange noises in a vehicle. I would advise getting a professional opinion and having it looked at sooner rather than later.
