Weird sound when turning wheel all the way.

dominicanto17dr · 07-13-2008, 02:53 PM

Guys I have a problem if anybody can give some tips. Lately ive been noticing when either I turn the steering all the way left when driving like maybe 5mph theres this strange sound that I hear. Im not sure about turning it all the way to the right. Last night its gotten a whole lot worse so I thought Id ask. Does anybody have a related problem or heard? Id take a lil video of the sound but I dont have the equipment

is it the squeaking in your steering wheel? cause i got that too.

You should describe the sound.

If it's "clicking", that is usually a bad CV joint, but I think it's unlikely if you have a newer car, and it looks to me like you have an 8th gen which I would consider newer. If the CV boot is ripped it's more likely to be a CV joint though, because the joint will lose the grease it needs.

oh yea, when i go over speed bumps theres a CLICK or a POPping sound is taht normal?

is it like a "clunk" sound when you turn the steeriing wheel all the way in one direction? if so, i have that at start up along with a slight groaning sound. i have to take it in for a 22,000 mile service anyway so i'll have them look at it.

mine when i turn the steering wheel just makes a weird grinding sound moving or not.. . its weird it started after the 3rd gear fix--

Damn im sorry I keep forgetting to post what kind of car i have. I have an 07si. It has about almost 25k miles on it and the only thing thats been changed is oil changes. I havent replaced anything in the car. But yea when I turn the wheel its making a sound like if the tires are flapping against that cover between the wheel and near the fender. But its not. The sound has gotten worse. Idk but my friend told me it could be the front struts. Ugh I wish I was mechanic wise

nayilsi · 07-13-2008, 10:31 PM

mine is an 07 also. my left rear strut was leaking and they were going to change it under warranty at @18,000 miles but i got the hfp setup instead.

i have an o6 and it sounds like er er er er really fast, think this is normal...

nayilsi · 07-15-2008, 03:58 AM

I think it needs lubrication.........whatever it is ....i.e

P1ng · 07-15-2008, 04:07 AM

does it sounds like a zip tie kinda? i got that also.

incraniu · 07-15-2008, 12:39 PM

yes and maybe true lube would maybe do it...not sure where to stick it thou

dominicanto17dr · 07-15-2008, 01:12 PM

Id take it to the dealer but I have no money to spend. Not sure if its still under warranty. The sound sounds like its making a groaning sound. It only sounds when turning left not right. Or kinda sounds like im driving on a bumpy road but not actually feeling the bumps since it makes that noise when im driving like 5mph either trying to reverse and turning vice versa. Idk what it could be.

mischief316 · 07-15-2008, 02:04 PM

I have an 08 and i have heard a similar sound aside from that strut sound in the left front. I dont know wats normal and not with this car anymore.

dominicanto17dr · 07-15-2008, 02:20 PM

^^ true

incraniu · 07-18-2008, 07:07 AM

i called them and they said its just the steer wheel settling... like some other noises =from door hangle etc... nothing really they can do anbout it, specially when the music is blasted.

dominicanto17dr · 07-18-2008, 07:31 AM

^^ damn dude thanx alot bro for calling but I forgot to post that it was actually the plastic cover that was hanging. My friend told me he saw it from under didnt believe him till i looked. Its the plastic cover where you can see the crank spinning somehow the clips were lost and hit the wheel everytime it turned. Sorry guys, thanx for helping me tho yall the best

I have the same "problem", after read a lot and go more than 3 different dealers, I went to a very good last night here in Manhattan, they earn the President award in Service, after I get there my car didn't make any noise, but the Manager kind of convinced me, he explain to me that when cold the brake brackets are contracts so there is when you hear the noise, and once they warm up they noise disappear or happen less often. It was funny my car won't make any noise in front of the mechanics, but the guy says if something was wrong it would be worst by now, but the noise seems to be always the same , no worst.
