I have a 2008 1.3 City S M/T. For the last year or so, I've been hearing a low but slightly high pitched squeaking noise when I turn the wheel left at low gear, especially when I'm parking the car. It doesn't happen when I turn it to the right. I brought this up a couple of times on my twice a year visits to the casa, but SA always says they don't hear it during the road test. It used to come and go, but now it's always there, so it worries me more. I think if I bring it to the casa, now I can make sure they hear the noise when I point it out.
But I thought I would bring it up here if others have knowledge or experience with this concern. I read on some American Honda forums that it could be one of many things, like busted ball joint, busted tie rod ends, loose belt, or even a tire scraping the inside of the wheel well. Most would say that it's definitely metal against metal, thus, indicating a lubrication problem. I used to think it might be low power steering fluid, but the SA told me my car no longer has that older type of system, as it's now a sealed hydraulic mechanism.
I would appreciate any insight from fellow members on this. Thanks for your time.
