These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link

To start, no change in tires or wheels, miles on the car, last alignment, any modifications and so on.

POST 1Original post

I've just started getting a grinding/rubbing noise which appears to be coming from the passenger side (uk spec car) when turning the steering wheel. Does anyone have a list of things i need to look out for or should check? note: just tried to see if the grinding sound occurs when it's stood still..and it does, so i don't have to be moving for it to happen. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

POST 2Original post

Is this from slight inputs are severe changes in direction? The latter is somewhat normal and even could be caused by cold weather on the parts including tires. But if everything else is the same as always then you need to get it checked out. There are a number of things to look for but if you can explain some more perhaps it will be easier to recommend something. To start, no change in tires or wheels, miles on the car, last alignment, any modifications and so on.

POST 5Original post

Recommend a read of your owner's manual for this. A preview: "Power Steering Note The flow noise heard at full steering lock is system related and does not indicate a defect in the steering system. Checking hydraulic fluid The reservoir is in the engine compartment. Regular checking of hydraulic fluid is part of servicing. Please observe the chapter “WORKING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT” on Page 172."

POST 6Original post

slight movement +consistently turning to left or right...the sound occurs. 1)have same tyres on 2)no alignment needed or mods done. 3)it has got down to 3 degrees outside lately from 10 to 14 though.

POST 7Original post

Have you ever found out what caused that?? I think I have the same problem now!

POST 8Original post

I have the same noise. I am gonna check the fluid tomorrow.
