    rubbing, screeching, banging?

    rubbing but could it be down to having an 18" alloy on 1 side of the front and the spare on the other side the past 3 months...probably not a good idea!

    Have you checked the level of the power steering fluid?
    If it's too low there may be noises coming from the pump.

    got a proffessional opinion today and he put it down to the fan belt tensioner...steering fluid is fine

    the alternator pully in these are clutch pully's and they seize after a while and you can hear a shuddering screching noise when you lock the steering to any side ,you can get the pully changed in a garage or autoelectriction,common fault.

    I sometimes also get a squeak on full left lock and when I googled it it was down to a power steering belt slipping. Not meant to be anything majorly bad though.
