Help ASAP. Car at shop for wheel noise.


Recommended Posts

Posted

I drive a 2008 LGT. I have searched the wheel noise thread.

 

I dropped my car off because i noticed noise from front left weel. Squeaky noise while taking slow (less than 25mph) right hand turns. Scraping/scratching noise while going straight (noise reflects off objects, walls). While driving through a drive-thru, the sound reflected back to me sounded as if a plastic bag was stuck under the car when i inched forward.

 

I got a call back from dealer and he said power steering fluid was low, so they topped it off.

 

First of all, why would the steering fluid be low on an 08?

-and if it is in fact steering fluid, why does it sound as if the wheel itself has a squeaky brake/ bearing problem? noise also happens while not turning.

 

Second, if i can reproduce this noise, should i reference anything specific that he may be unaware of?

 

Thanks a lot. Please respond soon.

well, as usual.. noise would not show itself while i was driving the car with mechanic. So.. at this point, noisy wheel is just a "within specs" problem. It could be a warped rotor from stopping too fast. who knows.
