Steering Problem.

"getting a new car....."

 

Hi! there, Noname,

 

If you've got a new car, you won't have such problems, as it's covered by warranty.

 

It's difficult to understand, how changing driveshafts can lead to this steering problem. Unless installation was done wrongly.

 

Are your brake drums worn out?

Hi Paul,

 

Can i ask you why is it that sometimes when a car turns either to the left or right, there's a screeching sound? I've often heard it from other cars on the road.

 

Cheers.

Hi! there, Michel,

 

So, it's not from yours or friends car?

 

You have to know where the sound is coming from. It seems to be from the fan-belt, from your description. Are the cars new? as in do they have a single aux-belt that drives the steering, alternator, a/c.

 

There's also noise from the bearings of a/c compressor, alternator, that's not very common. It's not identified immediately, most of the time. Damage will be very severe, costing quite alot, as much as a new part.

Paul I was referring to the accident[:p] What I meant was my mum was afraid I might trash a new car so she gave me a year to convince her to get a new car next year.

 

Anyway thanks for all ur help......will see if everything will be ok when I get the car back on Wed.

Noname, insist on checking the castor adjustment too.

Hi Paul,

 

Sorry to give you a general description. I guess it's not easy to troubleshoot if there's one. Anyway, it's not from mine or my friend's car.

 

Thanks anyway.
