I have power steering plus and thought it was somewhat normal.

But today, something didn't feel right about the wheel hub making so much noise like I ran over something.

Gonna take it to the dealer unless people say it's normal..

I have summer tires and when the temps fall, mine will sound like that when the wheel is turned sharply at low speed. If it is something else, by all means see the dealer..

dkim12

thank you for the response...it's freezing here in NJ...probably normal I guess.

Why does it do that or feel that way?

Mine does it too. Sharper turns going slow. Feels like bup bup bup bup bup bup bup bup.....

I think it is emanating from the front tyres.

These wide low-profile tyres don't do slow sharp turns well and when reversing with the wheel sharply over (or going forwards), the tyre's inclination is to go straight along the road-surface - following the direction of the car - rather than roll over it in the direction of the front axle; in effect, slow-speed understeer.

Makes a dreadful noise but is perfectly harmless.

Explained in detail recently. Perfectly normal consequence of wide tires and caster angle. Happens going forwards too, which is why tires squeal so easily turning in a parking garage. But its much worse going backwards. Anyway, absolutely nothing to worry about.

Its called caster.

Happening with temps falling.

Thanks, good to know. I noticed that too going in reverse, nice to know it's normal.

When backing out of my driveway and turning sharply I experience this as well. It's normal.

All of the above is true, but did you also check to see if there were acorns on the ground?

Lol

That's nuts! (Couldn't resist. Acorns. Nuts. Ah, nevermind.)

P-Zeros, I still hate you.
