Noisy Steering

[barboboo]

Hi, I am having a problem on my Grand Vitara 2002, When I turn the steering to the left when driving it makes a funny squeeky/loose sound, but when i turn it to the right there is no sounds?

I have checked my bearings and they seem ok....

Please help

Cheers Will have a look at that, I have a question for you !

We took my car apart today looking for the reason why the 4x4 was not engaging, on tracking all parts we have narrowed it down to the switch under the lever that powers the pump to the lockers! has anyone else had this problem??

hi m8 my m8 had same prob on his lwb vit
we just bypassed the switch on the t-case to a switch on the dash
plus it means you can have 2wd low gears
id assume main stealers wud be able to sell you a new switch thou m8

We thought about doing it today but was unsure?? what are the benefits of bypassing it and does the 4x4 still work better? and do you ahve to still put the lever in 4x4??

the only benafit of fitting a seperate switch is as i say u can have low gears in 2 wd
yes ur still have to put the t-case in 4x4 mode
all your doing is bypassing the t-case switch

im unsure wot you mean by the 4x4 workin better thou m8
