    Default Steering wheel making a weird noise

    Alrighty, I was driving my car last night through my estate and realised that at lower speeds when i turn the steering wheel it started making weird noises. A bit like when you turn the wheel from full turn one way to full turn the next but it is also now when I moved it casually left and right. At speeds above 60kph it aint noticeable but i guess you dont have to turn as much.

    help?

    cheers

    If its a moaning groaning type of sound it is usually the bush where the steering shaft goes through the firewall into the engine bay. Just spray some WD40 into this bush from the engine side of the firewall up into where the shaft comes through, it should stop the noise.

    Better to put some grease on it using a long thin stick. It's very hard to get to due to lack of clearance. I did it from underneath the car.

    depending on the sound of the groan it could also be p/s pump related oil level low/pump filter blocked/pump worn
