R52 power steering grumbles on low speed maneuvers.
Sorry for the crosspost but I'm not getting any love in the vert-specific forum.
So this has never really caused me a problem but I'd like to know what is going on. When I am parking or moving the car out of the garage, with the steering at a larger angle than driving, the car makes a weird sort of noise. It doesn't happen while I turn the wheel while stationary so I don't think it's a pump. If I had to guess I'd say it was a CV joint of some sort.
The noise it makes as you go forward or back is a sort of oily squeaky whirrrrrr ing. There is no clicking, and it don't have to be on full lock, anything around 50% of lock I'd say.
Any ideas what might be happening?
