Starting last night I noticed that my steering wheel began making a funny noise. This morning it was fine until about 30 minutes into driving. Whenever I turn either way, it whines (sort of). I can't hear anything outside the car, but inside it is pretty noticable. Ive read other posts similar but wanted some input, any idea?
I have the same issue on my 2005 V6, its kind of temperature-related. I've been driving with this for about 30 k km now. I do not plan to do anything about it.

Alex, I agree that it might be temperature related because it only happens after the car is at what I call it's "normal operating" temperature. During my morning commute, the car is fine.
It is possible to reduce the stress on the system by making sure to move while turning the wheel. Should a driver have to; no. Would a 'car guy' do it?
I do. That's the way I was taught to drive. (No power steeriing.) Do you?
I don't think it is the pump. The noise I hear sounds like it's in the steering column. I've had my 05 for almost 3 years. Took it back to the dealer several times for the problem. Last time they did some lubricating...... w/o does not indicate where...... but the noise went away for about 2 years. Comes and goes but mostly it goes. I too just drive it.
So I went to the repair shop, and the diagnosis was at least 1 bad motor mount, possibly a bushing in the rear end, and the steering wheel noise is yet to be figured out.I will be returning on Wednesday afternoon to do the repairs since they didn't have a lift available. I have no sort of warranty so does anyone know what this is going to set me back? By the way the guys there offered to bring me home since I will be carless then, no problem though, I'll be driving a 2007 Tahoe meanwhile.
Yes, I also think it's more the steering-column than the pump. The steering feel (hardness) is all the same with and without noise. And the noise also comes and goes but - as I wrote earlier - with some temp-relation. Winter is starting now and the temps beginn to fall, so I will monitor this...
but in fact, I go on driving.
