Hi all.
I've had this issue for some time now... a close friend said they would take a look but up until now, nothings happened.
Whilst maneuvering my car from the off, a three point turn, bay-parking or general lock-to-lock action on the steering wheel, I get 'judders' down the steering wheel and a straining/squeaking/jerky noise from up front.
On tickover, the idle doesn't sound great. Upon inspection, the lower pulley at the front of the block wobbles. The aux(?) belt (for power steering, alternator etc etc) was changed not long again and I hoped this would fix the issue. This was not the case.
Is this a common problem? How could the pulley have found itself working loose? Am I in danger of having the pulley come off together? I can only assume this is the/a cause of the straining noise whilst turning on full lock...
Any thoughts?
TIA. Jim.
