Hi,

Got me a noise on my Aus 2006 evo 9 that someone may have come across.

On full right lock there is a loud squeek coming from the left side wheel arch.

As you just start to come back to the left the squeek comes from the right.

You can get the noise to alternate between the left and right by moving the wheel from full right lock to just to the left.

On full left lock there is no squeek.

It sounds like a rubber squeek not metal on metal.

It's not just tire noise and does not do it when it is not loaded up ie when the front is jacked up there is no noise.

Still does it when the engine is on but it is not as loud as when the engine is off and the power steer is not helping....more load = more squeek.

Power steering fluid is fine.

Not rubbing on fenders, wheel bearing are fine when wheels are spun, wheel nuts are torqued.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

 

Hi guys,

I need your help/advise.
Yesterday I change & flushed the Steering Fluids and replace with MOTUL ATF-1A (Compatible with Dexron 3 as steering fluids).
After I fill with the ATF 1-A, it produce squeek sound if I turn the steering hard to left or right.
I even tested on the road for almost 50km but problem not solve.

Some said:-

1. Might be some air trapped during the process & probably gone after few minutes drive but unfortunately not.

2. Tighten the steering belting?

3. Not compatible fluids?

I never had this problem before. Reason of changing the fluids is for maintainance.

Or anybody could guide me how to flush/change the Steering Fluids, maybe with picture.

My ride is EVO8MR (JDM)

Thanks in advance.
