why does my Genesis G70 make a strange noise when turning

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and safety equipment.
• Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Wear safety glasses and gloves during the repair.

2. Inspect and Refill Power Steering Fluid

• Locate the power steering reservoir.
• Use a clean dipstick to check the fluid level; top off with the recommended power steering fluid if low.
• Inspect the fluid for contamination; if dirty, consider flushing the system.

3. Replace Worn Steering Components

• If any steering components are found to be worn:
  • Remove the steering column cover (if applicable) using a screwdriver.
  • Disconnect any electrical connections to the steering system.
  • Unbolt and remove the faulty component (e.g., tie rod ends, rack and pinion).
  • Install the new component, ensuring proper alignment.
  • Torque bolts to manufacturer specifications (check service manual for values).

4. Inspect and Replace Suspension Components

• If suspension components are worn:
  • Lift the front of the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the wheel to access suspension components.
  • Unbolt and replace any worn control arms, bushings, or ball joints.
  • Reassemble the suspension, ensuring all fasteners are torqued to specifications.

5. Wheel Bearing Replacement (if necessary)

• If wheel bearings are found to be faulty:
  • Remove the wheel and brake caliper to access the hub assembly.
  • Unbolt the hub assembly from the steering knuckle.
  • Remove the old bearing and press in a new bearing (use a bearing puller if necessary).
  • Reassemble the hub assembly and ensure it's properly torqued.

Tools Required:

• Socket set
• Torque wrench
• Screwdriver set
• Jack and jack stands
• Bearing puller (if replacing bearings)
• Clean dipstick for fluid check

Parts Required:

• Power steering fluid
• Steering components (if needed)
• Suspension components (if needed)
• Wheel bearings (if needed)

Estimated Repair Time: 2-4 hours

Safety Warnings:

• Always disconnect the battery before working on electrical components.
• Allow the vehicle to cool before working on the braking system.
