My 2003 dodge neon makes a crackling noise when turning the steering wheel right or left. I can still hear the sound a tad bit while driving. It stops some when I have driven for a while. I checked my fluid and it was kind of low so I added more. I'll check again to see if it has leaks. Any idea what this could be and how much I'm looking at?

Check to see if the brakes on the left side are sticking.

I replaced the lower passenger side engine mount and the vibration is still there but a bit less vibration. The lower passenger mount was worn out. I was told by the Dodge service dept that it takes 5 hours to change the main hidden engine mount which is mid way up the passenger side of the engine. That main hidden mount cost 75.00

To get to it you would have to remove the wheel, inner fender plastic work, windshield washer fluid tank, and etc.

MY SUGGESTION TO YOU IS THAT THERE IS NO REASON TO GO TO THE DEALER FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT WILL COST YOU 3X AS MUCH AS IT WOULD AT A PRIVATE SHOP.THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT ONLY THE DEALER CAN HANDLE,BUT ANYONE CAN DO THIS ONE.IVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 20 YEARS.

BELT INTACT?CHECK FOR LEAKS..P/S PUMP HOUSING MAY BE RUSTED OUT..STEERING RACK OR LINES MAY BE LEAKING..PUMP MAY HAVE QUIT PUMPING DUE TO LOW FLUID DAMAGING PUMP..I WOULD CHECK FOR LEAKS FIRST
