I've had my car for service twice complaining about a groaning noise in the steering. This noise is most prevalent after turning the wheel hard. The service dept. At the dealership said this is normal in power steering. I've owned P.S. cars for years and never heard those sounds. Someone I know with an Intrigue with the same problem was told it was the intermediate steering and they've ordered a part for her to repair the car.
