Odd squeaking sound
Hello all, been working a lot and the honda is still my workhorse, but a potential issue is creeping up.
For theast 3 days when driving, if i go to make a turn (left or right) i am getting an occasional squeaking sound, much akin to a like a squeaky door or the like that sounds like some WD-40 would fix. I am at a loss as the car is showing no other signs of anything wrong. PS fluid is full, pump and belt are also both intact. |
Check the ball joints. They can cause a noise when turning.
|
will do. I might add (as I just thought of it) that the sound sounds like it is inside the driver's compartment, and not from the outside. almost like the steering wheel itself has developed a squeak.
|
Well, that could be....yes I was assuming under the hood.
Noises are hard to describe..... If it is like a metalic squeak, then I'd be with checking the ball joints. If it is like a plastic squeak, then the shroud(s) around the steering wheel could cause this. Again, the difference in the sounds is hard for me to even describe :) |
yeah its odd. I can distinguish between under hood and in cabin noises, and it def. sounds more in the cabin.
|
ok, an update. the noise is not a constant, but it did make it a few times yesterday. this morning I went to check my oil, and I noticed that my PS reservoir was wet with fluid, not enough to affect the level, but like some had "burped" out of the cap.
|
Could be there is a blockage or leak in the system that causes the fluid to foam up and out of the res......could the noise be a belt slipping? What did/does the under side of the hood look like....about where the pump and res would be when closed.
|
its just the res that seems to have any liquid on it, nothing else looks like it has been sprayed. I crawled up under it yesterday, all of the balljoints, steering arms, cv's look intact.
