How do I stop the squeal noise when turning a tight turn?

Have you done so much to the car today that it just doesn't fit into one section, or are you too damn lazy to split it all up? Either way, this is the section for you.

Cab does great on all small turns but for the tight turns it has a squeal. I looked to the power steering. Levels are good . No leaks. What else could this be? Thanks for any help.

If you have the wheel at full lock meaning that it can't be turned any further, you will almost always get the squeal. Just back off the turn a hair and it should go away. If this isn't the case, then the belt is worn or loose. Try tightening the belt and if that doesn't do the trick, it's prollie time to replace it.

Stop placing the car up on two wheels in a turn, Image and usually the squealing passenger will stop.


These cars are so much fun to drive in the twisties.
