My Persona emits sound whenever I turn my steering. I suspect it comes from the front wheel(s). Could be brake pad problem since it's 2yr 8mth old d?
I wonder if I should go to a third party to fix it? All these while, I've been following the periodic service and my car is still under the three years of gearbox and engine extended warranty. Since I suspect the sound is not coming from those warranty components, I wonder if it will void the extended warranty. Any advice?

Sorry I did not describe it properly in my previous post. It should be:
- Whirring sound; not too loud, need to wind down window to listen
- At first the sound was detected when I reverse my car; even though I did not turn the steering.
- Now even though going forward, slight turn will randomly trigger this sound

My mileage now is 38.4k km. I think the last time I change my power steering fluid was around 20k km. Probably a year ago.

Shall I take it to Proton to check? Or go for third party? haha
Thanks for your help!

Turned out the front brake pad is already exhausted and the right-side metal holder is scratching the disc.
Changed a pair, RM150. Luckily the disc is not damaged.

How about the brake pads? RM150 is OK? I changed it at Proton Service Centre. The receipt did not mention any workmanship fee though.

I changed it at Proton Service Centre. I think it only has one model for Persona?

Ah sorry for the confusion. Mine is RM150 for a pair (Left and Right). I guess it's a standard or lowest end version? hahaha.

One more thing! I noticed tables in my service booklet show that our cars only need to be serviced once every 10k km. Is that correct? I had been doing 5k km service....
