Grinding noise when I turn left??? PS pump??

On my '85 Iroc, I hear and feel a slight grinding noise coming from the front of the car whenever I turn left. Seems to get worse the harder I turn the wheel. Is it in the power steering pump? Or some suspension component like the tie rods or ball joints? It is kinda aggravating to feel when you steer your car! When I turn right though, I can't hear much of anything. Anyone in the same boat as me? Anyone no what the problem could be? Help is greatly appreciated!!

well what condition is the Ps fluid in?...you may want to empty it out and try to flush it. Some shops can do this. You may want to try Lucas Oil Power Steering fluid too...it works great at loosening up stiff systems and quites it down alot...

I had the same problem, just tighten the right wheel bearing.
