    Power steering weirdness

    Hey guys, I own a 1990 E30 325i coupe.

    The power steering is a bit weird. It works fine but when I turn the wheel all the way, it would make a screeching sound (painful to the ears) and if i keep holding it, the steering wheel would actually be able to turn a little more. I sometimes need to turn the wheel all the way to get out of a driveway or do a u-turn. Is this normal? I am hoping there is just some air in the system and I can just flush it.

    I have another car (Mercedes) where if you turn the wheel all the way, it will make a small sound but not be able to turn. On this e30 it would stop, make a sound, and turn like a cm more.

    Please let me know any opinions
    Thanks!
