Recently, my Vauxhall Corsa has started making a high-pitched squealing noise when I turn the steering wheel. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's becoming more frequent. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it?
ReplyHi Sam, the squealing noise when turning could be caused by several different things. It could be an issue with your power steering fluid, a worn out or loose belt, or even a problem with your steering column. It's best to take your car to a mechanic to diagnose the issue and make any needed repairs.
Hey Sam, I had the same issue with my Vauxhall Corsa a few months ago. It turned out that the squealing noise was coming from a loose belt connecting the power steering pump. It was an easy fix and I haven't had any issues since then. I would recommend getting it checked out by a mechanic to be sure.
Hi Sam, another possible cause of the squealing noise could be a faulty power steering pump. If the pump is failing, it may be making that noise when put under pressure. It's important to get this checked out as soon as possible, as a failing power steering pump can lead to difficulty steering your car.
