Re: Ignition on / car in neutral - something activates when I spin front wheel.

This question comes out of curiosity.


Front wheels were in neutral no brakes applied... therefore they were freely spinning. BUT, if I try to spin the wheel too far, about 180 degrees at a fast rate, SOMETHING would activate a breaking device and the wheel would come to a hault. I dont know if its a braking device or something else, the fact is that SOMETHING is there to make a buzzing noise when I spin the wheel manually too fast which also brakes it. No matter which direction I spin it. Maybe its a manual/battery powered power steering mechanism for easy navigation if lets say the car was being pulled? Just wonderin and though maybe sum1 knows.
