my L300 van makes noises when turning the steering wheel. it's a sort of scratching / scraping. anyone know the reason (or even a solution) for that?

sounds as if there is sand somewhere...

cheers

Is the noise coming from the actual steering wheel? If so it could just be a peice of dirt or dust in the steering wheel mechanism. On my Galant, it made a sqeak everytime I turned my wheel, it turns out it was the horn prod thing in the wrong place.

I had this with my 1988 Mitsubishi Cordia. The grease in the sliding horn contact had gone all old and filled up with grit, and it made the most worrying sounds but it was a 5 minute fix. =)
