have you ever turned your steering wheel
0:01
and heard strange noise it's not just
0:04
annoying it could be a warning sign of
0:06
something bigger let's break down what
0:09
might be going on and how to fix it
0:10
before it gets worse strange noises when
0:13
turning are more common than you think
0:15
and they can come from a variety of
0:17
issues here are six possible causes
0:20
first up low power steering fluid if
0:23
your car uses hydraulic power steering
0:25
low fluid levels could cause whining or
0:27
groaning sounds when you turn this is
0:29
one of the EAS fixes just top it up but
0:32
remember low fluid could indicate a leak
0:35
so don't ignore it next worn out
0:37
suspension components your suspension
0:39
system supports the car and absorbs
0:41
shock if Parts like ball joints or
0:43
control arm bushings are worn out you
0:45
might hear creaking or popping noises I
0:48
had this issue once turned out it was a
0:50
cracked bushing replacing it solved the
0:52
problem immediately steering rack issues
0:54
a loose or failing steering rack can
0:55
cause clunking noises especially during
0:57
tight turns this one's serious it
0:59
affects how your car handles if you hear
1:01
this consult a mechanic right away dry
1:03
or damaged CV joints clicking or popping
1:06
noises when turning that might be your
1:08
CV joints critical parts of your
1:10
drivetrain damaged CV boots can let dirt
1:13
in and grease out leading to Joint wear
1:15
if you ignore it it could lead to
1:17
expensive repairs faulty wheel bearings
1:20
grinding or humming sounds could mean a
1:21
wheel bearing is failing it's easy to
1:23
mistake this for tire noise but if it
1:25
gets louder during turns you've got a
1:27
bearing issue fix this soon to avoid
1:29
dangerous situations tires rubbing
1:31
against the wheel well if you've
1:33
installed new tires or made suspension
1:35
modifications the tires might be rubbing
1:38
it's a quick adjustment but left
1:39
unchecked it can damage your tires
1:41
here's what I've learned don't wait for
1:43
these noises to fix themselves I once
1:46
ignored a whining sound thinking it
1:48
wasn't a big deal a week later I was
1:50
stranded on the side of the road with a
1:51
failed power steering pump lesson
1:53
learned if you're unsure start by
1:56
narrowing it down a quick inspection
1:58
under the hood or at your wheels can
1:59
save you time and money and if you're
2:01
out of your depth don't hesitate to
2:03
consult a trusted mechanic it's better
2:05
to spend a little now than a lot later
2:07
so the next time your car starts talking
2:09
to you with strange noises listen up it
2:11
might just save you from a costly repair
