First of all let me say I have been chasing this noise for quite some time now and there is a whole lot that has been tried and done. The noise occurs when I do a hard left turn mostly when rolling at a very low speed. It sounds like an old screeching door there is no better way for me to describe it. During the sound there is a slight vibration felt through the wheel.
-Replaced wheel bearings, replaced upper/lower ball joints, struts and brakes. Noise did not change.
-Replaced power steering pump three times. Noise did not change.
At this point I brought the truck to the dealership to let them have a look at it...
-Dealer replaced lower column bearing. Noise did not change.
Dealer then recommended the SIR coil or the steering column be changed. Since I already had installed an SIR coil I decided to do this part myself.
-Installed brand new SIR coil myself. Noise came back 2 days after but did not change once back.
Then I purchased a used steering column from a salvage yard and since the dealer gave me a deal on installing that I let them do it.
-Dealer installed used column. Noise came back 2 days after but is much less pronounced and cannot be replicated easily so far since it's been two days. Also the vibration is gone or much less present.
What can it be next?
