| Steering It has got on my bloody nerves tonight to be honest. Only when i turn to the right, do i hear a screeching/rubbing sound. Now, When going around a roundabout, the 'steering' makes very quiet noises. Any idea from anyone, what it could be? |

| Re: Steering Are you lowered? If you are then it could be the steering arm touching the ARB on full lock. It could also be early signs of a top bearing failure.

| Re: Steering Nope. Not lowered. The car is 5 months old. Could it wear out this quick? I think, listening to it in closer detail. Might have something to do with the foam that was wrapped around the steering colomn. I'll give it more of a chance. But a top bearing failure would be pretty poor on a car this old. |

| Re: Steering Yeah I was more pointing toward that if you were lowered.
