steering noise

Postby Cicak » Sat Mar 17, 2007 9:28 pm

Lately, there's been noise and a bit of vibration coming from the steering wheel when turning the steering wheel back to straight. The faster I turn the steering wheel back, the more i get of this noise and a bit of vibration.

I'm driving a 1996 ae111 blacktop non s/s levin. Any ideas on whats wrong with it? Or has anyone else had this problem?

thankss

Check your p/s fluid level, sounds like it is low.

It's more of a grumble, and i can feel some vibrations. No problems when it goes to full lock, it's just on the way there, and back, turning left and right. Seems to happen only when it feels like it though, more so at lower speeds.

I've checked the p/s fluid, and it's at the right level. Drove it around today, and didn't have a single sound when steering, hopefully it's gone, but i tihnk it'll come back soon enough. :cry:
