Noise turning to the right - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

blsfrs · 09-01-2023, 01:18 PM

Over the past 3-4 months, I've noticed this "whirring" sound when I turn to the right at low speed usually once the car is warmed up. It's in the video at about 10 sec. There is no change in the feel of the steering wheel. The click sound is probably the passenger seat belt.

Any Ideas?

Bizarre sound. Does it seem to come from inside the cabin?

If I had to say, it sounds like it's outside the cabin.

The one road near my work has a berm on the right. It sounds louder when I drive by there.

And, if it's weird or bizarre, it will happen to me.

Only when warm probably rules out something like a loose fender liner, or a stick jammed in a weird spot. Still worth a look. I fear it will be a frustrating search.

front or rear of the car? is it any right turn, or only after turning so far? speed dependent?

Sorry for not responding. I got distracted by some other stuff and the one brain cell monitoring this post switched off.

Front of the car. I only hear it at low speed with light steering wheel input. Doesn't seem to occur at higher speed or more aggressive turns.

EPS coupling?

Too specific for coupling. It would rattle all the time, not moan only when making a right turn at low speed.

I don't think I know better. I don't quite follow either. Do you think it could be something rubbing?

it almost sounds like an rc car servo with some missing teeth...

I just realized you're talking about the wurring / groan when you turn right, not the clicking / tapping noise throughout the whole video.

Can you replicate it when you're at a stop at all?

I probably should have made a better video. The clacking is the passenger seat belt flapping in the wind.

I get the "wurring" sound only when moving slowly and turning to the right.
