I would like to know if any of you noticed a strange "wwwooohhh"-like noise when moving slightly downhill and you turn to the left or to the right without applying the brakes. You have to turn close to 90 degrees, it is coming from the front of the car, actually I have the feeling that its source is somewhere in the axis of the front wheels. Also, is it only an idea of mine or do you also experience a sudden drop in RPM when you fully turn the steering wheel left or right? Thank you in advance.

Try not to turn it so far that it reaches the stops.

It sounds similar to the noise I noticed in my steering after about 20k miles. The dealer replaced the ball joints in both front wheels (under warranty) and the problem went away. Power steering fluid was also quite low, but the dealer said that was unrelated.<p>Rich D.<br>98.0 A4 2.8QM
