Q: Steering making noise

asked by on October 29, 2016

My car is mitsubshi Pajero 2010. When i turning my steering it making noise. Not very loud but enough to bothering. That noise has been notice 3 weeks ago and getting obvious about 1 week now. Break pad had been replaced a month ago. Would it the power steering system or just the low fluid ? Please advise and how much it will cost me to get it fix. Thank you.
