My Nissan is making a noise
« on: July 08, 2011, 07:57:11 »
Hi

My Nissan Terrano is making a horrible noise when it is on full steering lock, the garage cant find anything wrong.  Has any one else come across this this problem?  (Sounds like metal against metal)

I dont know much about Terrano's but it sounds like a CV joint, (constant velocity)

Thats where I'd be looking on a Discovery but I'm not sure if they have the same drive system on the Nissan's.

Hope this helps  :smiley:

Slipping power steering belt, fluid low in PAS reservoir, knackered PAS pump. That's if it does it when it's stationary.

I'd also change garage.

Its nothing to worry about; it's just the lock stops on the suspension&steering rubbing (metal on metal) together. Either grease them or just don't wind it right round to full lock :-)
