I've got a '93 960 that's been making a shuddering/vibrating sound when I turn the steering wheel to the left while the car is standing still. It sounds like it's coming from the rack, but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Have you checked the PS fluid level? One day my wife said that our 93 960 was making strange noises while turning at low speed. I went for a test drive and noticed that the noise was from the power steering pump. This was not a gradual thing. When I filled the PS reservoir to the full mark, the noise went away. This happened about two months ago. The problem hasn't recurred.

Yeah, the PS level looks OK. I even flushed it with new fluid. I had someone turn the wheel with the car running while I listened outside. It seems like the noise is originating around the rack, but I really hope not! The car only has 75 K miles, so I don't see how the rack could be bad.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Dave
