steering noise - help needed!

Post by AliM »

Hi,
Noticed a new grinding noise today when turning the steering wheel at idle and low speeds. It happens when I turn both left and right. Its a nasty loud metallic noise.
Ive checked the steering fluid and the level is ok. Ive taken both front wheels off and looked aroubd for anything obvious, no obvious movement/play in wheels or any split boots on cv joints etc. Ive checked for any debris or rubbing from brakes and all ok. I did notice that there is a slight drop in revs as I turn steering wheel to the right while idling.
All suspension arms, springs, shocks and tie rod ends are all fairly new.

Anyone had a similar experience?
