ok i do not know the first thing about cars, i just drive them, so if this seems like a stupid question am sorry!

right, there is a whining sound coming from the steering wheel area, and it does it from when i start to turn the wheel untill i stop.

also the car pulls to the left? are these connected?

i have taken the car back to the garage 2 times because of the pulling to the left and they say it is not "uneven tire wear" not "balance" and the breaks are not sticking!

so i dont know what to do....

i have only just noticed the whining sound as i usually have music on, but had it muted for a phone call...

any help would be nice

thanks in advance

Hiya Dude,
The GP is prone to pulling to the left (more so on the heavier mjets) because of the camber in the road. The left hand side of a road is lower than the middle so the car tends to steer left slightly.

If you find a quiet side road try driving in the middle - should fly straight, and on the wrong side, should fly right.

If on the right hand side of the road you still pull left you have problems.

Have they checked for things like a broken spring?

Some GP's have had steering column problems which you may like to search for on here.
 
thanx mate, its a 07 plate and i only bought it 2 weeks ago and was told that it was the chamber in the road, but it was more the whining in the steering that was worrying me! i just feel like a pest ringing the garage up all the time, an going back all the time, so i would like to know whether there is a problem before i ring again... if ya get me....

cheers for the info tho :)
