So today it was a cold day like 18 degrees and I own a 2004 TL with about

82,000 miles. When I turned on my engine today I noticed something weird. It

never happened before. How come when I turned the steering wheel either left

or right and makes some humming noise. It makes noise when it is in park and in

drive as well. Did anyone experienced this before? Does anyone know what the

problem is? Please let me know. Thank you very much.

 

Does the problem go away when the car is warmed up? If so fix it yourself with this DIY. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...highlight=ring

 

Mine does the same but its more of a crackling noise. It only happens when its cold. Is this what your hearing OP?

 

I have a problem since a long time with theses sounds,it's like a cv joint but i change the right one on my tl but it's steel noisy.I really don't know what it is.My car stayed at the dealer for the third time maybe somebody can help me about the problem for my tl 05.The sound came from the both side but just when its cold and when i turn. thanks

 

If it only happens when cold Check the link listed in above post for the TSB on the power steering pump o ring fix. If it happens all the time then I'd suspect low fluid.

 

thank you i hope they will findthe probleme because my guarantee acheve and i am going to say to them about the information that you said to me for the seal.

 

What is the year of your tl???

 

Take a look

Nice car

 

a mechanic said i need to replace my control arm on my '04 tl which has 98k. the car feels great & i don't have any problem steering. BUT...when engine is COLD it makes a winny noise. when it warms up it goes away?

 

try warming up the car and check the fluid level, When the car is warm up the level should be above max if it's not add some more fluid in there.
