i have this weird rubbing sound and feeling in my steering wheel when i turn left or right. it almost feels like something is not lubricated and is rubbing against something. this is the 2nd time this has happened, and both times i had run through a pretty good height of standing water...

any ideas?

 

Water in the power steering resivior can do that. How long before it went away last time? It could also be a busted boot in a tierod that has no grease or gotten grit or gravel in it.

BTW, the words "rubbing sound/feeling" is not a good way to start a thread <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

and
"almost feels like something is not lubricated and is rubbing against something" Well, that's just plain sickning. <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

i guess that does sound pretty bad, huh?

it went away after about 2 days last time...
if feels like it's slowly going away day by day, so hopefully it's nothing major
