'groan' noise from steering
I hear a 'groaning' type of sound when turning the steering wheel back and forth especially when first starting out. If I had to make an educated guess I would say rack or pump, but I'm not sure. I think I'll disconnect the tie rods from the steering knuckles this weekend and make sure the wheels turn from left to right without binding. Any one else seen or heard this? Grand Ams had a problem somewhat like this and there was a power steering hose that was the culprit.
It's a 2002 with 56k miles, and well maintained. Last edited by kmohr3; 08-08-2006 at 10:19 PM. |

Re: 'groan' noise from steering
this is the GM procedure to make sure it's not a shaft problem that you "fixed" before. I think bearings were falling out of some (very few + rare) of the gear units also.

It's definitely not the same type of sound.

Re: 'groan' noise from steering
Mine does a similar thing sometimes, only when the car is idling. Also, there is a noise from what seems to be the p/s pump when I am sitting still. When I turn the wheel, that noise goes away. When I stop moving the wheel, it comes back. It sounds like the sound of fluid flowing through a hose, but louder than it should be.

Re: 'groan' noise from steering
I talked to a tech at the Dodge dealer today (he used to work accross the street at the GM dealer), and he told me that some of the cars had a problem with the power steering high pressure hose. Possibly a restriction or something that can cause a problem.
I was wondering if Panzer or someone with AllData access could search for tech bulletins on the Intrigue that may involve replacing the power steering high pressure hose. Thanks |
