Fat Del Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 When i'm at low speeds I notice a dodgy whirring noise when steering and its freaking me out, it even sometimes stops steering the direction I want it to completely. It's VERY loud and sort of screeches, so i'm not talking about operational noise here. I'm supposed to go to the Hertz meet tomorrow but the car sounds REALLY unhealthy. What could it be? Cheers.

SLEEMAN Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 best to get the car jacked up and look under the front wheels, look where the driveshafts are and see if they are rubbing against anything whilst you are under there turn the wheels round to see if they touch anything even turn the wheels side to side on full lock and check if they rub against anything other than that mate all i can think of is brakes?

meekstaaa Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Have you checked the power steering fluid? It could be something to do with the pump. I'm sure someone will have a look at the car for you at the herts meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Sounds like low fluid level to me! Alternatively a fucked PAS pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Any car spares shop? .. but surely you'd go and check the fluid level first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Del Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Ok I looked at the fluid and it was a bit low, but nothing really major, I hope that noise has stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 It won't stop by just looking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Del Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) It won't stop by just looking at it. Ok I LOOKED and TOPPED UP the fluid. It seems fine now but I'll test it properly soon. Strange because the marker wasn't on minimum. I'm just glad it doesn't appear to be anything serious at the moment.
