steering column buzz
I've got a 2001 Grand Am GT Coupe (with the V6).. when turning the steering wheel left or right I hear a zzzzz type buzz or squeal. No sound can be heard in the engine compartment.. only inside the car. I've searched the threads and really only found steering pump/rack issues which I would think would be noisy in the engine compartment as well. Any ideas? Thanks!

Re: steering column buzz
Welcome to the forum. Is there any play in the wheel? or any type of moment it shouldn't be making?.

Re: steering column buzz
Thanks for the response... there may be some slight movement in the wheel before the wheels turn. I had it in to the garage and everything (ball joints, etc.,) looks tight. The reason I had it in was for them to try to fix a rattle/clunk in the front passenger side wheel/strut. They diagnosed it as a strut bushing and drilled into the bushing to install a washer... still have the rattle and now a sqeak on both sides. I'm planning to replace struts and mounts in a couple of weeks (85K and it's time anyways).

Re: steering column buzz
Does it sound like an electrical type of buzz?
You might have something wrong with your turn signal switch. If it is a metal on metal squeak, try a bit of white lithium grease where steering post meets the supports.
