swooshing noise when Making Left Hand turns.

Str8eye · 08-29-2010, 01:10 AM

So as of late I started to hear some swooshing noise when making left hand turns or when I cut the wheel to the left @ fast and slow speeds. The swooshing sound does not occur when making right handed turns. So I bring it into the dealer to have it checked out.. "A foreman and technician took it for a test drive but did not hear anything" So I take there word for it.. Revers and start to take a left hand turn.. sure enough swooshing noise still there.. I go back into the dealer and say the swooshing noise is still there!

the Foreman goes that's normal the cause of that sound is from the power steering.. So I argue my case and said that this sound was never there before?! Dealer (BMW PEABODY MA) says it's normal for it to sound like and that there is nothing that they can do.. CPO 07 328XI.. Do you guys get a swooshing noise when you guys make left handed turns?.(Just Curious). the Dealer has two service departments.. I am gonna have to call the other service department and see what they say... right now I am just pissed because the sound was never there before! and it annoys me when I hear it.

I think you need to be more clear on what you mean by "swooshing".

Where does the sound seem to come from? The steering column itself or someplace else?

Well it sounds louder from the back when I turn to my left.. I guess you can describe the swooshing noise like paper flapping from the tires.. I have an appoint at another service department tomorrow to check out the noise NOT Centenial's service department but the one Route 114, they stated it shouldn't make the noise so they will look at it hopefully they can fix it.

So it appears that the service department did not test drive my car for the noise.. So I brought it in to there Second Service department.. Test drove it with a Tech.. Sure enough the noise came back and the Tech goes "he knows what it is" It turns out to be a bent Dust shield that was scrapping my rotor disc. The tech replace both rear dust shields and now my Baby sound Fresh and new again!!
