Hi folks.
Once again I come looking for the wisdom of the list. My Midget has
just begun to make some unusual sounds from the steering column.
When I turn the wheel in either direction, I hear the distinct sounds
of "flat friction." It's not grinding, its not squeaking - like to
pieces of rough plastic sliding against one another. The sound
oscillates as the wheel goes 'round.
It just struck me that I've only ever heard the sound after a good
rainstorm. God knows we've had a few of those in Vancouver the last
couple of weeks. Might just be that the roof is overhead so I get
less ambient noise.....I dunno!
Any thoughts kind ladies and gentlemen?
Chris.
