My steering makes a horrible noise when being turned. Please help me diagnose the problem.

Should I change the fluid and see?
is it totally shot?

96 GSR

 

Stock fluid that has been in for 2 years.
Began 3 months ago.
Makes a WOOOOOOO!!! sound on turning, which is especially noticeable when accelerating while turning.


Fluid level in reservoir is at low end of normal.

Which connections along the steering column are likely to be bad?
Rack? Where it turns the wheels?

Help.

Acura has a bulliten about that, mine did the same thing, all they had to do was lube up something behind the steering column. HOpe this helps.

 

Thanks for the reply. I found the Service Bulletins on the NHTSA.com. What do I do know? Should I take it to Acura and ask them to fix it? It is not a recall, I think, so will they cover it at no cost?

How do I find information on the fix.
