Is this normal on a Mojave X -- high pitch whine noise?

I always figured it was the power steering. Before you take it out of park... move the steering wheel. You will hear the wine. At least mine does.

I have noticed it with out even moving the wheels. I guess i need to take a video for the ghost buster crew here. Best described as what you would think of someone doing the robot dance lol

Yeah, that is what mine sounds like. Just like a robot! It makes noise on it's own, but more if I bump the wheel when climbing in. I really only notice it in the morning, but being in the garage might amplify the sound. It is the electric power steering pump I was told. My buddies 23 JL does it also.

Robot dance?

I hear it if im outside of the vehicle in tire wheel well area. Stops when not rolling, present in forward or reverse during start ups. I will try and get a video uploaded. I assumed it was hydraulic reservoir but perhaps it could be alternator or power steering.

A long shot…but could there be debris/rock stuck in your calipers?

If you reverse and put brakes on/off several times….it might dislodge it (if applicable)

My 2021 JL(Auto) does it in reverse also.Sounds odd to me,but nothing else seem to be wrong.The 2020 does not do it.
