I’m a Diagnostic technician by trade so this is a hard one to swallow ... anyway I’ve had the car up on the ramp at work and checked out all the track control arms etc etc , all looks good , it just passed an MOT last week too . When I turn the steering without weight on it I.E off the ground , its disappeared . I think it might be coming from the steering box
has anyone experienced this because it’s driving me crazy .
Its probably the mice in the engine wanting to go fast down the road, and since it is off the ground they are protesting loudly! Seriously, welcome to the best car forum around! Did you check the wheel bearings for correct tightness? If loose and worn, they might squeak (reference loud mice protesting). Hope you can trace it down!
