Strange Noise

ardvark · 12th October 2013, 15:19

I normaly drive with the radio on so I'm oblivious to any outside noise. Today I drove my better half up town and noticed a strange noise when the window was down.
When I got home and bonnet up I could hear it better.
It sounds like a thick tin with bolts in it being shaken about.
It starts when I turn the steering wheel both left and right.
It stops when the engine revs up a bit.
Any one any ideas?

just a thought could be strut top bearings???

No I've just changed them. The sound comes from the belts area.

A bearing collapsing?

Shot crank pulley. Have a look on Youtube and see if it sounds like yours.

what he said, starts/gets worse when you turn due to the increased load caused by the power steering being more heavily loaded. Mines doing the same, but I have a replacement, just need the time to change it.
