+--- Thread: Power Steering Issues? (/showthread.php?tid=2105)
- Lainey - 01-08-2010
I've been noticing a strange sound coming from my car's front end after I've pulled of my garage (backing out). When I turn my wheels to the right or left there is this wierd rubbing, like a sticking sound. Almost like the tire is flat (but the tires are fine!) It goes away and doesn't happen after I drive it.
I haven't been driving it but once a week (after it rains and the road is clear).... No fluid under the car in the garage, so no leaks. I have 11K miles on the car. Could it be the power steering fluid is low? I read somewhere that Caymans have issues with the PS fluid.
I don't think I have flat spots on my tires.... could that make the noise?
Any help is appreciated!
Miss you guys!

My Cayman does that. I think it is an issue of the front wheels scrubbing when in reverse and it seems to be more noticable in the winter. I've read the reports of P/S problems with Caymans and Boxters but I haven't experienced any. Bill Boys at Possum Hollow believes maintaining fluid level is important.
