Hi guys, I had a strange noise start when turning right in my car earlier today.

Accelerating through a right turn there's a grinding noise, like a tyre rubbing or a failing CV joint. No noise on left turns or straight driving.

Could it be related to the ARC system running low on fluid? I have corrosion in the front pipes and am waiting to get them replaced, so carry a bottle of power steering fluid with me.

I top up the reservoir regularly but have seen air in the system while the engine is running.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike

It's worth checking that a front brake shield hasn't come loose?

Thanks guys.

Just had the diagnosis from the main dealer on my leaky pipes and creaking on right turns.

It turns out that the loss of fluid replaced by air in the ARC system is the cause of the right-turn noise.

Glad i was sitting down when they gave me the the repair cost!
