Its not dangerous to have it like that, just annoying! So thats Why I can confirm its nothing to do with the SR!
Thanks dotty but what exactly am i listening for cant really make much out!
So just been out again and it would seem that when I apply the brakes the noise stops if that helps?
I had this with my old Type R (03)....Done so much research into it my eyes nearly popped out... I had three problems, I never found the answer, although I think i'll get as close as i can to the answer.
Problem 1: Everytime I turned right, there was a louder drone noise (coming from the front - Engine)..
Problem 2: Squeeky steering wheel..
Problem 3: Every now and then, the steering would snap left or right... only slightly, but noticable..
From what I gather, there was problems with Type R's pre-04 - Many got fixed under warrenty, many unfortunatly didnt. But I am pretty sure my problem was linked with the steering rack - and I think the cost of a new steering rack was between £500-£1000.
I cant say for sure you have the same problem, although the drone when you turn right is definately something I had! in the end, I found out that my problem wasnt life threatening... I just had to pay out, or get used to the irritation - i decided to get used to it.
Hope that points you in the right direction...What year is yours?
You need to try a variation of activities in your car until you localise the area more, find out if it happens at low speeds? Full lock, etc? Low/High speeds...Maybe the possibility of something in the tyre?
This was My original post.... Basically...Yours isnt linked with the steering Rack...That Vid shows a Fcuuuking annoying SQUEEK!!2nd half of the vid! imagine an over polished steering column...leather on leather almost...although its nothing to do with that, thats the kind of noise it makes!
get some new pads mate.
could it be tyre pressure? trying to cross off the things to check!
