Always investigate strange noises
Friday, July 11, 2003
Dear Tom and Ray: I have a '95 Oldsmobile Achieva with less than 64,000 miles on it. A rubbing noise that sounds like doves cooing can be heard (especially at parking-lot speeds) when I am turning the car. It sounds like it's coming from the dashboard area. I mentioned it to the last guy who changed my oil, and I could see visions of sugarplums and dollar signs floating above his head. He said that he'd have to take apart the dashboard and steering column -- a few hours of labor -- just to diagnose the problem. The noise hasn't affected the steering, as far as I can tell. I'm cheap, by the way. Any suggestions?
