    Help!

    My 405 has developed a strange problem. When I steer
    left there is a loud screeching noise. The noise is
    loudest when the car is moving slowly (and the engine
    is cold) but still exists when the car is moving at
    speed (and is completly warmed up).

    The noise never occurs when steering straight or
    right, only when steering left. On occasions the noise
    even exists when the car is stationary (with the
    wheels pointing to the left).

    Baffled yet?! The noise is also loudest from inside
    the car and seems to be affected by the speed of the
    booster fan! With the fans set to the off position the
    screeching is very loud and if I turn up the fan to
    the '1' bar position, or higher, the noise still
    exists but changes in tone.

    Has anyone else come across a similar problem to this?
    Could the cause be located at the booster fan or is it
    more likely to be a component of the steering (I've
    had the belts checked and all is apparently ok). Do
    the booster fans still spin when they are set to the
    lowest position (the slider can be set to 0, 1, 2 or 3
    bars)?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Peugeot 405 GLDT
    176,000 miles (all original mechanical components!)
