Weird noise when turning the wheel
Sunday, April 30, 2006 9:09 PM
When i drive slow and turn the wheel it make a funny grinding type noise, it REALLY does it when i turn the wheel to the right when i'm stopped. I opened the hood and listened, it's coming from the brake master cylinder area. I checked the power steering level and it was a bit low but i'm going to top it up with Lucas Power Steering Fix tommrow.

Any one have any ideas what this could be? I would like it fixed by sunday for an autocross.
P.S. How much HP does a 92 Z24 have, and what is the weight? (it seems to be way slower then my 91 RS, but i think it's just cause it weighs alot more)

Thanks,
Jeff

it just sounds like power steering fluid to me. if topping it off doesn't work, flush it and put fresh fluid in.
