If you mean an intermittant kind of honk as you turn the steering, it's very common, Chrysler never managed to cure it in 5 years of production. Best you can do is ensure the oil is correct and in good condition.

 :017:Cheers Guys, had the motor a year gone Sept but the noise has only started this last month or so. PAS fluid levels OK but does it deteriorate like the engine oil ? Thanks, Peter.
