Weird noise when turning the steering wheel
Dont know if anyone has experienced the noise...
I turned my steering wheel from a complete stop (pretty much a complete steering wheel turn) and suddenly a weird noise came up. It sounded loud enough and pretty much like a rock popped to the fender I didn't worry so I hit the road and drove about 7 miles on hwy and exited a curvy ramp without the noise. This morning, I backed out from my garage and turned the steering wheel, the noise came back and it got worse. The noise sounded seriously like driving on a gravel road when turning the wheel. Does anyone know what might cause the noise? Thanks. |

It's different to the thread. I heard the "pop" before maxing out the turn. There is no leaking and can't recreate the noise. I'm sorry for the assumptions, i am no mechanic... Could the weird noise come from 1. bad ball bearing? 2. broken power steering? 3. dislocated control arm? 4. other? Quote:
I have standard rims/tires. No active steering. Thanks. |

Since then... I couldn't recreate the problem and it seems okay so far. (knock on wood) I also asked my SA to check if any mechanical problem but nothing was found... |

Lets all stay on top of this. It appears that many of us have experienced this, but it has been spread to at least 3 threads because we all describe it slightly differently.
I have experienced the noise in my car about 5-8 times. All during the first few miles of driving when it is a hot day and the wheel is turned slightly. |

Summary...
1. first day - POP noise. Turned the wheel from a complete stop. 90F+ 2. second day - Rattle noise. Turned the wheel to back out from my garage in the morning about 3mph. 60F+ Since then, it has been okay so far. ================================ Well, I am not sure if this could cause the noise… just a FYI. What happened prior to the noise… I exited the ramp. Mid speed turn + break + ran over couple pothole. As the result, my car bounced a bit during the turn and break. Parked the car for an hour and came back to drive out from the street parking. Turned my wheel and I heard POP noise. |
