In Reply to Need Help! Anyone experience a squeak or chirp while turning to the right??? posted by MileHighD (cleshock) on December 31, 1999 at 15:54:51
It started a few months ago (around 6K miles). I don't want to go through the ordeal of the dealership dismantling my steering column if it doesn't fix the problem. I'm only aware of it when I'm not using the stereo which is not often.
Let me know if you are successful.
I thought that after 12 days at the dealer and the total replacement of the steering column from the wheel to the firewall that this nuisance was fixed. Now a month after the repair, the squeek (or chirp) is back.
For those of you who do not have the problem, it generally occurs at neighborhood speeds (10 to 30 mph) when turning to the right. Any small bump or vibration in the D while turning to the right causes a squeek or chirp from the dash area. It does not happen when traveling straight, or turning to the left.
Has anyone had this problem and successfully had it silenced? A post four months ago mentioned the replacement of the airbag clock spring taking care of it for one member. Has anyone else had this problem? Solutions? Suggestions? Please post any comments as I really would like to be able to offer suggestions to my dealer when I take it back in.
Thanks.
