SGT071928 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I hear a rubbing/groaning sound when turning the steering wheel at low speed--like when parking. The power steering fluid level is fine. I don't feel any vibration in the steering wheel. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Possibly the diff. Not sure how common that would be for our cars though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Does it continue to make noise while rolling slow with the wheels turned? Or do you mean only while turning the steering wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT071928 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Noise continues with wheels turned but stops when straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT2899 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 my car does the same thing. more so when the AC is on and I back into a parking spot. I haven't found the cause so I just live with it since its only when parking. my 2000 GT did the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'd still think rear end is a possibility then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT2899 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 in my car I can make it do it while parked if I turn the wheel lock to lock very slowly with the AC on on a very hot day. I think it has some thing to do with power steering fluid temp. my 2000 gt did the identical thing so I put a small tranny cooler on the PS line and it went a way the SGT isn't nearly as bad so I just live with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT071928 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Not very many responses--- is anyone else having this issue. Any suggestions on how to correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT93 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I get that sound on a rare occasion. I am positive that mine is coming from the front end. I only get it when I do a tire change for the track and it only happens for the first few miles and park jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 what you are describing sounds like simply "pump catch." This occurs when you turn the wheel all the way and hold it while at low rpm. It is somewhat normal and not necessarily indicative of an issue. This is induced by the low rpm. Again, this is if the sound is occurring when the wheel is turned all the way, one way or the other, and held in that position, during low rpm. You could also have air in the system and may need to bleed or flush the system. I do not know if our SGT have the ability to be bled. But I see where you have a 07 SGT so it is best to flush the system every five years, along with the anti freeze, brake fluid, etc. Power steering may not be able to be flushed on our system so if not you just use a baster or other hosing to suck out as much as you can and replace with fresh. Good luck and let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
