Noises???

[pkfire]

I'm not sure what causing this sound but at low speed turns I'll get a whining noise from what I believe is the drive train/brakes??? It gets louder when I steer the wheel more and it does not occur when I steer the car at a stop. Above 20-25 it goes away. The front wheels spin freely and without any type of grinding noises. I have no idea if it's traction control related. The TCL isn't engaged either when these noises occur.

BTW Does anyone know how to turn the TCL off?

Check your power steering fluid. If it's low, the pump will make a whining noise when you turn the steering wheel.

i dont mean to post jack but is it bad for your car to run with low but not empty power steering fluid? ive been running like that for a few weeks now, its not empty but its a little below minimal. but i liek the feel alot better than when its full

The fluid will overheat.

Its a little hard on the pump.

"A sure way to diagonise a faulty CV joint would be to take a U turn at a reasonable speed ( about 20kmph) if there is a clicking or crackling noise heard from the suspension in most cases the joint would require replacement. Also there would be a metallic noise on sudden accleration and deaccleration, if the joint is faulty."
