I received a call from a customer in Nashville about their 2006 Honda Accord having difficulty steering and making noise when turning.
They mentioned:
Steering felt stiff, especially at low speeds
Whining noise when turning the wheel
Possible fluid leak

These are common signs of a failing power steering pump.
Diagnosis Process
When I arrived, I performed a steering system inspection.
Findings:
Power steering pump was worn and not building proper pressure
Signs of fluid leakage around the pump

The power steering pump is responsible for making steering smooth and manageable, especially at low speeds.

Drained power steering fluid
Removed the faulty power steering pump
Installed a new pump
Reconnected hoses and components
Refilled with proper fluid
Bled air from the system
Tested steering operation
Total time on-site was about 1.5–2 hours.
Result
After the repair:
Steering became smooth and responsive
No more whining noise
Proper hydraulic assist restored
Vehicle was much easier and safer to drive
The customer immediately noticed the improvement.
