Steering Problem Options

[HerosBlade]

My steering is okay cause compared mines to 808celica or Jon's celica about the same. Only difference is that when I turn right or left it makes a rubbing sound. But only if I'm going slow under 10mph anything above it no sound. When going slow my turning is the same but the noise just want to get rif of it driving me nuts. So I was hoping anybody had the same problem and knows the anwser might be?

PS pump going???? I really dont wanna say rack and pinion.

rubbing = thumping? clicking? constant noise??

rubbing = thumping? clicking? constant noise??

X2. thats a pretty generic problem, give some more specifics, also what suspension, or body kits if any do u have cause this can cause that prob. as well

[HerosBlade]

no mods to the car everything on the car is bone stock. no thumping no clicking no constant noise is just rubbs when I turn but not constant just once when I turn right when turing left it happens once again only driving slow. I will try get a video up to show you guys.

[808celica]

vid wont help man. its a very faint noise and you only have hear it when youre in the car.

it sounds like something is binding up, is the noise comming from inside the car or outside? if its comming from the inside try lubricating the steering shaft u-joints, and sleeves if that doesnt help its time to look at strut plate bearings, p/s pump, and outer tierod ends. but this deff. sounds like a lube issue

[808celica]

Hmm so your saying its time for either Full suspension or installation of my Tein springs with kyb struts and new oem top mounts and bump stops...........

and new tie rods and ST sway bars and bushings


Hear that time for an upgrade let the modding begin

[HerosBlade]

No worries. just dnt be afraid to go nuts with the lube. lol to little and itll still make noises. lol just hit the steering shaft anywere it has a joint or makes contact with something else

[HerosBlade]

Ryouxrs look underneath found a torn cv boot on driver side lube a it noies went away for now just have to buy cv joint for that side Thanks man if I have any questions is it okay to ask you man??????

[Ryouxrs]

yeah, no worries. just kinda weird that a cv axle would make that noise, most of the time they make clicking noises. ask away. lmao

[808celica]

well man if when ever you want to do the cv's we can do it at my place. since its only like 5 secs away you seen me today i did both sides and all rotors
