Hey guys i have a 1997 LS and i've had this problem since I got the car but its progressively gotten worse. So when i turn the steering wheel sitting still or moving it makes a whining noise in the car but if your standing outside the car you cant hear it at all and its not the power steering pump. So i cant seem to figure out what it is but im guessing it could be this,53534-SR3-N52 DUST SEAL, TIE ROD and this 53534-ST0-013 DUST SEAL, TIE ROD. They are ripped on each side could this possibly cause the whine?

 

Yes, it can be the ripped tie rods. Does it still have grease on them or is it completely dry? If they are dry, try greasing them up and see if the noise goes away.

 

Okay there seems to be some grease on them how would I grease them? Just rub some on or what?

 

Anyone?

 

Help?

 

i would think if it was the ball joints... you would hear this from outside too...

My ball joints on my del sol were ALL ripped... and made a god awful screeching noise when turning... then i would grease them by just putting some shiatsu grease on my finger and rubbing it into the ball joint... or squeezing the tip into the torn hole.. and fill it...

I bet its something to do with the power steering.... is your fluid level full?

 

Yeah it's not the power steering outside of the car when I turn the wheels the pump sounds normal you can only hear it in the car and the ball
Joints are all good any other ideas?
