Hi

What sort of noise?
Is your steering fluid at the right level?

The noise is normal on full lock. My car has done it for the last 9 years.

Changing the fluid is probably a good idea depending on when it was last done, it can get pretty dark and manky.

RTFM, this is normal and you shouldn't keep it on full lock for prolonged periods.
