  • Weird steering problem

    A couple weeks ago I was parking the Camaro and all of a sudden it started to make this bad vibrating/rubbing noise whenever I turned the wheel at all in either direction moving foward and in reverse. I came back and left like an hour later and it did the same thing backing up and leaving the parking lot and then went away.

    Since then it randomly makes a rubbing noise and vibrates the steering wheel for like a half second while backing up when I turn the wheel. I took it to the dealer and they inspected the steering system with the car up on a lift and didn't find anything, but there has to be something causing it.

    The power steering fluid is fine, but could this be caused by a weak power steering pump? The tire itself isn't rubbing, it's coming from somewhere in the steering system itself. Our 2002 Trailblazer does something similar once in a while while backing up and turning to the left, but it never did it often and has never done it nonstop for a long period of time like the Camaro did the first time this happened. Something had to have happened to it to make it do it, because it never did it at all up until that day. The car only has 3,950 miles on it.

    HEY!! I'm having the same problem! I was just about to do a search on. Here's my problem -- sounds similar to yours:

    I have noticed that when my car is at a stand still (engine on, etc), and I start to turn my steering wheel to the left, it makes that sound. Like a light vibration and rubbing sound. RIght now I just had someone turn my steering wheel while I looked at the rack and pinion and the left tire. I could feel the vibrations on the wheel, endlinks, and brakes when I touched them. It's not a bad vibration but a loud one.

    I called my dealer but he isn't in today. My car is still under warranty but I don't want to take it to a bunch of dil-hole dealer workers.

    HELP US OUT PLEASE!!
