Jack your car up at the front, place the axel stands under the wishbones, where they attach to the body, move your steering left to right. See if it still makes the same sound. IMO, you need to flush the power steering fluid and replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-K Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 thanks fellas, thanks prof.monkey ,ill have it checked and let you all know on the other issue i recon either the cars too low or the wheels are too big for it .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Sure it's just not rubbing on the inner arches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Have you had the driver side wheel arch off before? Mine was loose and caught the wheel on full lock to the right, might be worth just makin sure it's not that Edit: Too late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moistfinger Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Mine does the same when parking on my drive ( turning right ).Never hear it any other time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cntt Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 first issue, have a check your power steering fluid, could be a very big chance, if not, check power steering rack then, which is not good, when you say it makes a grinding noise, is it just when you turn the steering or when you have it on full lock when moving? the second thing, check wheel arch, check position of the wheel on the other side and compare it, if they're the same, maybe jack it up have a look at the shock. I might be wrong, but worth a try I guess, I'm not too familar with supra as it is my first not haven't got it very long, so haven't done much work on it yet, but if it was a honda, thats what I'll be doing first.

If it is all the time, then it would be the rack, but at full lock, when the pump is working against the fluid pressure, it makes a noise, but not a grinding one, so could be lack of fluid or a split in the system. If the at full lock you open the PAS reservior and the fluid is froth you have a leak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 We just installed my FMIC and we changed the Power Steering Fluid... And the car makes alot of noise if its low or have air in it... Just fill it up, and turn the wheels all to the right, and then all to the left. Like 20 times .....till the sound goes away... Well its worth a try....if you haven´t check the level....

David C Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I've got something similar - nasty noises when at full lock either side, followed by seeing about 1.5" of tyre basically wiped off the insides of each tyre when I took them off to look.....
