HI, anybody have judder noise caused by steering rack?? have anybody replaced the rubber mounting bushing for the rack/steering gear? appreciate feedback if so,,,thx Russ in Philly.


getting judder noise when making turns and excelerating, think this may be the problem.

 

Is it like a suttle type of noise that happens only when you turn the wheel? I may have the same issue. I can only here it when im inside the car, if someone turns the wheel and im outside i cant hear it.

 

Russ, take a close look at the power steering drive belt. It might be slipping slightly under a load when you accellerate. That could cause your power steering system to judder. I can't see how the mount bushings would cause any noise. If they were loose, your rack would move slightly giving you a bit of road wonder.

 

Happens when turning & accelerating or going straight over a hill accelerating,,sounds like a rubber bushing is possibly worn, someone said possibly the sterring rack mounting bushings beat?????

 

You have seen this Tom? Seems like it most happens when hard left turns ...I will check the belt. Thx

 

Inspect the lower control arm bushings, engine mounts and the rack. Take a look at your upper strut mounts as well. I'm still not so sure the rack bushings would cause any sort of noise. If the rack gets loose, you'll know it for sure, as the steering gets really funky.

EDIT: Have you had any work done to your axles lately? Could be a bad CV joint as well.
