----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I have noticed when i drive my 2003 jeep wrangler that when i turn the wheel all the way the front of the car makes a loud humming noise like something is grinding. What is going on? Is this normal or do i need to get it in ASAP!?

Check you rpower steering fluid level first. IT should not have a any discoloration, if it does change the fluid.
Sounds like the fluid is low.

When the wheel is turned fully the maximum amount of pressure is being placed on the pump. Low fluid can cavitate air into the system.

I'll try to find a pic, but there is a reservior that holds the fluid. If you look aroung the belt area you should find the power steering pump, the reservior feeds the pump. Look at #6
