lads i need lil help please.... when i turn the wheel im getting like a loud springing sound coming from under the peddles ???? my da reeckons its the power steering but i dont know which part??? or even if he is right anyone have the same experience is it serious ive to drive the car to a wedding on fri and really need the car any help would be great cause i havent a clue what it is cheers
 
is it when you turn the steering wheel left or right? in any position? or just the peripheral positions (when you can often hear a sound of pump and it's nothing really wrong, but it's rather not too loud)

have you checked the steering fluid level anyway? check if there's no metal debris in it... if there is, it's a really bad sign...
pump may be dead...
just quick ideas for now...
 
its just when i turn right l had a look at the levels and there all fine :ponder2: i lifted the bonnet and turned the wheel all the way on both sides and its only on the right it seems to be coming from the alternator bearing or belt but it defo sounds like a spring or something i havet a clue where to start i just dont wanna be driving it if its gonna feck up the engine :wall:
 
Hmm... I think you'd better go to the garage for a check... maybe it's something in suspension?
No idea at the mo
 
Check that the coil's of the springs are not catching in the platform of the strut. There's supposed to be a rubber between the spring and the platform.
