Hi All,
I have a standard 2005 BA Falcon, has done around 220000kms.
I have recently noticed that when I move the steering wheel to the left it makes a whirring sound.
I'm guessing its the power steering, but have checked the fluid and it is full.
It doesn't make this sound when turning to the right.
It has also meen making a soft crack/bang sound when i slow down to under 10-15km's.

Anyone had something similar happen or roughly know what it might be?

my ef fairmont does that when i turn and put the brakes on going slow, all the front steering components have been replaced over the past year and everything still seems to be good its just this noise when i turn and its sending me loopy aswell

Yep, The soft Banging sound isn't really happening all that often, but the noise is every time i drive it....
Dont want to be stuck anywhere or have to limp it home as i dont have anything else to drive atm!!

Sounds like a wheel bearing.. How does the car brake-pull too the left/right, steering wheel wobbles??

Thanks EL-Fairmont!
Pulled everything apart, cleaned it up, put the new bearing on and no more noise!!


Thanks Heaps!
