Hi all,

My local mechanic has just finished replacing my upper ball joints on the front L & R of my 100, quite often now i hear what sounds like tire screeching when turning left or right (slow speeds as well as moderate).
Have had a good look around but cannot see anything untoward, its definitely not the tires.
Any idea what it could be, getting the lower wishbones replaced soon but wanted to double check this before I replace them.

Hope your all well!

Regards
James
 
Only thing can think of is power steering belt slack or pump low on fluid obvious i know but worth checking before you pay garage prices and if you still have the noise find a wide open space bonnet up and have a mate hang on the front and drive around until you find the source also does this happen when you are on full lock if so you are on the steering stops and putting the pump under pressure if so back off a bit
