I think I myself am having power steering and or Rack and pinion problems but am unsure.
the Power steering at idle makes a tingy noise and when accelerated it becomes a steady tingy noise. I can hear it all the way inside the car.
another noise that seems to worsen when I accelerate from a slower gear (IE : Coming around a turn in third and step on the gas. the car accelerates slowly but I can hear this odd noise, I'm guessing it's my R and P) is bothering me too. Telltale signs that anything is about to need some major repairs?
Any thoughts?
Yeah that sounds a lot like a noise I have, and I have heard it on many a j-body. I think at some point someone had mentioned it may be the timing chain tensioner has become slightly slack and the chain is what is rattling. I don't know if this is right or not but I have heard this noise on quite a few Cavi's, I think it is one of those many little quirks of our cars.
my goddess. you should hear when I deaccelerate. it's terrible. not to mention embarrassing.
Anyone else have this issue?
When you deaccelerate do you hear a popping noise and is your steering tight at all around turns? Mine is acting like that too... also going over bumps I can hear a thumping noise but the car is still running fine. I just can't figure it out. Going in for inspection tomorrow so hopefully my mechanic will figure out what is wrong with it without it costing me an arm and a leg...
