Okay posted a couple of days ago about my air conditioning and blower making noises...what I have noticed is also my steering feels REALLY heavy and stiff. This has gradually got worse over the past few weeks and is co-incidental with the air con making bad noises...looked under bonnet and cannot see anything...belts look ok. Someone told me even if the belt looks ok and is tensioned up correctly it can still be this. Also this problem seems linked also to when I had my Poly steering rack bushes fitted. Car seems to be running pretty lousy and alternator belt squeeks slightly but only on extra load.

Please help.

Again please any suggestions? Thanks guys.

ok, these things may not be linked.

 

ac and blower making noises? what do you mean exactly, is it just the heater blower making noises?? could just be the motor on the fan is on its way out

 

steering really heavy - dont want to state the obvious but have you checked your tyre pressures??

 

if the alt belt is squeeling even when tensioned correctly it prob needs replacing. the surface of the belt goes all "shiney" & doesnt grip the pulleys very well.

I feel the need, the need for speed!

 

Thanks...checked tyre pressures...even all round..still the same but not so noticable...is it my pump/rack? Thanks guys...
