the dealership told me that it is due to the steering column needing to be lubricated
soounds like steering wheel fluid needs to up
many reasons, steering pump, cv joints may be going out, or you could be grinding some plastic that goes around the wheel
it is the powering steering pump and or PS fliud leak
I have a 1999 Ford Explorer and I was told about a grinding noise before I bought it. He told me that it was because it needs a new wheel baring. * If the vehicle is standing in place and the wheel is turned and there is a noise it could mean you need to add power steering fluid to the unit.
if u put wider aftermarket tires on then the tires are rubbing on the fender wheel well if you are refering to in/at the actual steering wheel, then some grinding noise is normal. it's possible the electrical contacts for airbag/cruise/radio controls, whatever you have on the steering wheel are making some grinding noise.
I would guess that it is the wheel bearing. is it a grumbling sound or an all out grinding? If it is or was a grumbling sound and has turned into a grinding it is probably the wheel bearing.
Bad wheel bearings usually cause a grinding noise, and are known to only cause it when turning.
sounds like a wheel bearing.
A grinding noise form a wheel is usually caused by a bad wheel bearing.
Yes they can make a grinding noise, if they are bad.
If its making a horrible grinding noise, it could be the bearing!
Pop the plastic covers off around the steering. you will see a contact that is making the noise, add some grease to the contact. I think it's for power to the horn.
