jake91 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 When i turn the wheels to the right around 10 mph you car feel a vibration in the steering, and you can also hear it vibrating. I was wondering what this could be caused by or if it is common in these cars and is nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairdo12 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 You're going to need to do some checkIng while someone turns the wheel for you. It could be anything realy. Here is the order I would check things... tierod ends, inner tierods, ball joints, strut bearing plate, cv shaft, upper strut mount, strut shaft, steering gear.

rockfangd Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 probably bad PS pump. They usually start to go bad because of the strut bearings if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 it seems to have been a power issue because when i fixed my abs problem by cleaning the corrosion off thee battery cables i gained 2 volts and the noise went away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumineer Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Hey, my dad's '91 Maxima has a sort of similar problem. On sharper turns at lower speeds (maybe all speeds, but we don't turn sharply at high speeds, lol) there is a sound reminiscent of plastic flapping around or something, as if the tire was causing some plastic to skip along the tire or wheel. I've heard it on rare occasions on other cars. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake91 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 yeah i could be that be that cause my gea was that way every time i turned right the tire rubbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumineer Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Here's a quick clip of my dad's steering noise. Listen for it once I turn. I had my brother holding the camera (who didn't want to because he was in the middle of playing Fable 2...psh). Anyway, listen closely and you'll hear a rattle-like sound. It only happens on turning though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Fury Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Sounds NASTY. My first thought was CV.... but what the hell do I know?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
