It could be low fluid in the power steering unit or the accessory drive belt itself could be bad or slipping when you turn the wheel and put a load on the system.

It's a manuel. Does that make a difference?

No, I would check the two things I listed above first and go from there. The fluid is cheap and easy to check. Then you can visually inspect the belt with the car off, by checking for cracks or missing pieces. Also with the car running and in park turn the wheel to right full lock and see if it makes the sound. If it does you can open the hood and try to pin point the sound. Since your car is an 08 if the drive belt / belts have not been replaced it might be time to anyways.

There isn't anywhere to check the power steering fluid on this car. Is that normal? It seems crazy?

Your not crazy, it has electronic steering control. However there is a recall on this unit, I would contact your local dealer to see if your car is included in the recall.

I have a 2008 hyundai santa fe gls 4dr. I originally had a problem with the car starting in park, which at first i thought was the battery as it was still factory. I changed the battery and realized it was not the problem as the car elctronics worked flawless but there was not sound of turn over or clicking just nothing. I soon discovered the car would crank and run as expected when shift release was pressed and the car was put into neutral. I diagnosed it as a neutral safety switch but after driving i realized the car will shift into the park position but it is not recognized by the vehicle and the car easily rolls as if in neutral and makes a clicking sound every few inches(maybe centimeter, a very short distance). so in short my vehicle starts in neutral, rolls in park while clicking, all other gears work fine from what i can tell. Im stumped. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Will the parking pawl affect my ability to crank the car in park? 3 Answers
