i have recently noticed a speed related noise from the front drivers side of the vehicle when turning slightly to the left.
the noise is very reminiscent of a sick petrol station compressor and sometimes causes a vibration in the steering wheel.
as this noise is coming from near the alternator, i think that it may be the hydraulic pump or possibly something to do with the steering rack assembly.
has anyone had a similar problem, if so some advice would be helpfull.
Many thanks
