2005 S40 2.4i when I turn the wheel left while sitting still it makes an awful noise inside the car and even louder outside of the car. when its raining outside the noise disappears all together. As soon as whatever the problem is dries its back louder than ever. What in the world could this be?

Search MVS for pertinent phrase.
It sounds like your steering gear is showing sign. I would check the ps fluid level immediately.

The fluid is a little low but not too low. CV joint? Loud when dry, quiet when wet. Make sense?

I don't know what it is. My mechanic is going to diagnose the problem for me.

OUTER TIE ROD END ON PASSENGER SIDE. Sprayed with ACF-50 until I can get the part and for now its completely quiet!
