My '03 Dodge Grand Caravan (v-6) has developed an intemittent loud humming sound, mostly as I turn. It sounds like it's coming from the drivers' side front or even the steering column.
The mechanic found nothing visable. The cv joints look fine.
Any ideas I can bring to the mechanic to check for?

, You could have a power steering pump low on fluid or worn. This would be noticeable when you move the steering wheel it might be the power rack and pinion is worn and makes the pump work too hard.. if it is worse when you turn the wheel, that points to these parts. hope this helps

it could be a bad wheel bearing when you turn you are putting more load on the wheel bearing causing it to hum. this sound will only get worse and the bearing it self may seize up if not fixed. when the bearing starts to hum all the time than you know it will need to be replaced. Your power steering pump may be low on fluid or it may be worn out. My dad has a 2006 Chrysler town and country and the power steering pump has bean leaking ever since his the car was new (its a work car) he brought it to the dealer three times and they cant find the leak but he has to fill the reservoir up every two months. A bad torque converter or bad planetary gears will make similar sounds but you wouldn't feel it in the steering wheel and your car is to new to have transmission problems.

have you ever checked no remember if the buzzing could be heard in case your grasp socket is remoted from something of your sockets (via unplugging the faceplate and plugging a telephone into the socket in the back of)? If that still supplies buzzing, examine you get it with all your telephones, separately. if so, the fault is with your line and is right down to the telephone business company to restoration. they are in a position to accomplish a little line exams remotely and may be able to no longer could want again on your very own residence in any respect. in basic terms call the freephone selection for reporting faults. in case you don't get buzzing from the grasp socket, the difficulty is on your very own setup. Disconnect all the telephones, and use the telephone that gave no buzzing on the grasp to income each extension socket. If that doesn't coach any fault, reconnect the different telephones separately, it extremely is taken under consideration one of them is defective.

sounds like the power steering making the noise. call a dealer, there was a recall on some of them. a hose i think. i have seen them have to replace the reservoir as well (strange i know, but it seems to work) which isn't covered.

Sounds like the hub bearing assembly. That is pretty common for them to go on those vehicles.
