Steering Noise (200 to 250degrees turn)

[iagree]

Hello guys,

Recently, I realize this Steering noise if i do a fast 200 to 250degree turning on the Steering when I park my car.... May be is coz of my 4 new GR80 tyres side effect?

Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Look under your car. Do you see any power steering fluid leakage.

Should have nothing to do with your new GR80 tyres.

I would advise you to send your car to Tan Chong for a free diagnosis since it is under warranty.

I think it is better to make an appointment so that you do not have to wait for so long.

If got knocking sound then steering coupling usually when turning at low speed. I changed mine last friday. I complain during my 10000km svc but they juz oil and never replaced so my recent svc i complain again and this time they change. But I waited 1 week coz no stock.

I also have the same problem as Gui Ge.  Cable within the steering wheel loose.  Went TCM to have it rectified.  But I think yours may be considered "normal" by TCM.  The reason for saying that is that when I brought my car to TCM on the steering wheel noise, the noise sounds like rubbing sound.  I could hear the sound even if I turn the steering slowly, such as going up or coming down MSCP.  During the testing by TCM technician, he identified the problem within minutes.  However, he highlighted to me that the motor sound is normal if we were to turn the steering fast, which he demonstrated by turning the steering to the limit (i.e. more than your 200-250 degrees).  Since you hear the sound only if you turn the steering fast, then TCM will say it is normal.  Took them quite long.  Appointment time at 9.30 am and ready for collection only at 2 pm.  They said quite complicated because they have to dismantle parts (-- may be smoke me only).  Do share with us if TCM tells you the same thing.  Thanks.

Hi, what type of noise are you referring to and does the noise happen the moment you engage R gear or only when the car is moving backward?

Tan Chong has this reputation for always saying "It's normal" when you highlight fault parts to them during warranty period.   

I've read about so many forumers complaining about this.

In your case, you hear sound when you turn steering fast or slow or both?

In my case, I did not highlight the sound when turn steering fast.  Mine is got sound even turn slow because the cable loose.  It is the technician who highlighted to me on his own that if turn fast, can hear the motor sound, which is "normal".

That's a good sign. I hope Tan Chong improves on its service.

I think it also depends on which service centre you went to and the service advisor who attended to you.

Which service centre did you go to?

I went Bukit Timah.  The advisor was Stephen Ang (I think).

My steering wheel a bit misalign. Do I have to get it done before Vicom check? And also, when I turn my steering fast, i do hear some noise like fabric rubbing each other.

Better get the wheel align.  I kenna before for wheel misalignment and did not pass inspection.  So got to pay to have it align and then pay again for a second inspection (though it is a little cheaper than the first inspection fee), not to mention the trouble of having to go to VICOM to queue up for a second time.

Regarding the sound, my case was the cable loose and the sound can be heard even if turn steering slowly.  If I turn fast, it is the motor sound which is normal (according to TCM guys).
