Steering Pump |
| |
Have you ever driven an older
Chevy-truck? Their steering mechanism make quite often this
squeaking noise - related to the belt or to the belt or leaking
fluid. |
| |
The same noise and
some difficulties steering occurred on several occasions - however,
I had and have problems pinpointing it under what circumstances this
happens besides that it is only at low speed and low RPMs - but it
is not consistent. |
| |
I noticed it mainly while parking
into small parking spots, where I don't want to accelerate or rev
the engine up. |
| |
This issue was never brought to
Lone Star's attention - but it is one more flaw in the overall
reliability of this vehicle. |

Some people at
Lone Star Inc. (Calgary) must have read this web site. With the last
repair - they looked at this issue and found out that the noise came
from a worn-out alternator bearing. They replaced the alternator
under warranty @ 43,000km. |
