Hey guys, been a while! Anyways, my steering is making a super annoying hissing sound after autocross hehe if the wheel is straight its a loud hissing gurgling noise, when i turn the wheel and hold it, it goes away. I checked for leaks and there was none, the fluid is always in the same spot, steering is fine but i cant deal with the noise its so loud and annoying. Checked the pump its fine, sounds like its coming more from a line or rack but im not sure. Any one here have any ideas?!?

 

about time you were back. I got the same noise but mine is when I turn.

Any movement on the tires when you jack the car up?? and where are you autocrossing??

 

ADSI in Quonset RI :-D and nope, tires move fine, but i did fu*k up my right side axle as well "cluck cluck clunk" when turning. i think i may have air-raited the P/S somehow, like broke a valve thats sticking or something but i wouldnt know where to even check or what to look for, this is the first time i have ever had any steering noises/ probs before :-/

 

I meant like maybe one of your rods might be broken or something. Does it wobble or just make the noise??

 

what rods? my tires are completly fine, it has to do with the power steering i know that for sure, question is, can it be something that i can fix (like air in the lines, a valve etc) or something i just have to replace (like a new p/s line or rack)

 

Yeah check the power steering fluid lines

 

If there's air in the lines, taking the cap off and turning the car left to right (with engine running) should expell any air in the system.

Have you ever changed the fluid? Perhaps the PS pump is starting to go out...
