When making turns (02 KJ) at low speed and while breaking I can feel a slight vibration through the steering wheel, and can hear a 'buzzing noise' which sounds like it is coming from the front end somewhere.

Usually happens more predominantly when the engine/car is cold, more so on cold days, like we have had more recently...

The problem is intermittent.

Thoughts/diagnosis on what it could be or what I should look for?

Don't you just love 'sound gremlins'?

Have you rotated the air in the tires?


No, really you've got me.
I did see a girl today with a safety cone stuck under her car but I am guessing you would have caught that. I am sure the guys will help, Lost guys are the best.

LOL, no traffic cones under there...!!!

Thanks for the responses so far. Will have my mechanic check it out next weekend, and report back.

I have a feeling it is just the cold weather acting on the power steering fluid.

UPDATE...

Finally popped the hood, and checked the power steering fluid reservoir and it was low, so I topped it up with ATF+4 and now everything is smooth as butter.

nice....
