Kpax 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) Yo guy's, When my E30 is in neutral & idle, she purrs. BUT, when I full turn the steering to the left or right it sounds as if a belt is grinding against something. It's scary. I was thinking it could be something within the power steering or maybe something bent, hmmmm ....any ideas? Edited July 8, 2007 by Kpax Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The noise only occurs when there is full lock of the steering wheel. I'm still lost man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you sure that sound is not just the power steering telling you that you are reaching the end of your steering rack? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kpax 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2007 Well I finally got this sorted, (took me long enough)seems the belts needed to be tightend . I had my cambelt changed along with tensioner & pump, came to $550. Got the guy's over at GA to check all the belts while they were at it & tighten them. The car does feel firmer now(if you know what I mean). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
