whistling when the steering wheel is in the forward position

Unread post by FoF244 »

Hello, recently a whistle started to be heard when the steering wheel is in the central position, when I move it the sound stops, it can also be heard when I turn to the right as much as possible, the sound resembles the friction of Two metal plates, is it something serious? The car is a citroen c5 from 2002 2.0 16v automatic .

It could be any number of things but the first to check would be brakes. Jack up each wheel individually, with the car chocked and handbrake off where applicable) and spin each wheel, also check pad thickness. Does the sound disappear wen you brake?

no, the sound is the same when I brake and the speed does not influence the sound in any way
