When I make sharp turns, something in the front of the Jeep makes a weird noise. I can't really describe it because it's so weird. It's not real bad sounding, it just sounds like some sort of pump or something and I don't like it. I'm assuming this is my power steering pump, should I have it replaced?

And the other noise is a bad one, it's like when I turn, the noise comes from around the wheels, it sounds like an uneven wheel or something like it's wobbling almost. I went wheelin' (nothin hardcore) last weekend, and I just noticed the noise yesterday.

Any diagnoses?

on the first noise is it when the wheels are turned all the way?

From your description, I'd check the ps pump to see if full and fluid condition. Then I'd have a look at the front axle u-joints. They make many noises when worn mostly when turning.

Pretty much.

I'm an idiot, how do I check these?

ps pump whines when turned lock to lock.

does your steering wheel shake a little when turning?
