baganails Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I've noticed some strange noises on the steering of my 2006 Fiesta. When driving I can sometimes hear a whine when I turn the steering wheel, it happens when turning left or right. With the car stationary there is a grinding noise when I turn the steering wheel, it is louder when I hit full lock. I have checked the power steering fluid, it is at the correct level but it looks a bit dark. Would changing the fluid cure the noises or do you think I am a looking at something more serious and expensive? It is a bit difficult to make out but here is a video of the grinding noise.

Mavroz Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Not had this with the Fiestas but had grinding on a Focus. Broken front spring and damaged strut top bearing.... Whining may be the power steering pump if it is having to work harder against the broken spring (s) ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
