Strange Whining/Squeaking Noise..................
« on: 07 January 2006, 12:20 »
Reversing off my drive this morning turning on full lock and got a loud whine/squeak noise. Sounded like it was coming from the outside of the car, driver's side.......anybody got a clue what it could be? I have noticed a few more squeaks since the missing brake pad shims were replaced on the drivers front wheel, not sure if that could be connected? :undecided:

Sounds more like the power steering if you have it, as if you put it on full lock it is under most strain. Might just need the belt replacing.... much like mine does.
