Title: Squeal when turning left
Post by: mrapoc on 19 January 2012, 00:28

There seems to be a squealing/high pitched noise whenever I turn left.

Whats the likely cause, is it something to worry about and how can I test for it?

Forever grateful  :smiley: :smiley:

Power steering pump?

Would this happen when just turning left? Cause there is no noise at all turning right.

How can I diagnose a wheel bearing?

Could be the steering rack?

Wheel bearing will be a rumble noise which gets worse when turning.
