Another Engine Issue. #2
OK my issue number 2 is....
I drop my car recently in springs... When i drive it hard in the corner i hear a rubbing sound, sounds like a whining sound and goes up at a higher speed. The sound does not go away even if im driving in a straight line then stops after driving 1 mile or 2 in a straight line.. if i make a hard right again then starts again then goes away after driving in a straight line. I took the wheels out and cant see anything that is rubbing or dragging.... its weird cause the sound goes up if my RPM goes up but then goes away... ok this is not another normal IDLE problem... ok when i turn my wheel in full lock left or right while at park 6mt in neutral my RPM goes up by 200-300 and i hear a whistling sound... and my rad fan is still spinning even if my engine is totally off. for the last 3+ years i had never encountered this problem. can anyone chime in if this is normal?

Sounds like it may be related to your power steering pump whining when on full lock. The fan running when you shut you engine off can happen if the temperature is high, but the two don't sound related (at least with the information you provided).
I'd check your PS fluid level to make sure it's not running low. |

My RPM goes up when I steer when parked as well. I didn't notice it until I added a catless exhaust but I think it was because of the increased noise with the rev increase. My Evo did the same thing. I think its normal. On the other hand, the whistling sound may be an issue.

As far as the fan staying on after turning the car off, this is normal. Depends on the environment/conditions.

1. fan running after car is off is totally normal.. 2. Turning wheel left or right while car is stationary will cause RPMs to fluctuate; again normal..DO NOT HOLD THE WHEEL AGAINST THE LOCK; this is a great way to burn out the pump.. you may be hearing the whining of the pump which is also normal (to an extent) if it's really audible have it looked at |

yes will be bringing it back soon. The only thing is that boggling my mind is that i cant find anything rubbing so assuming its not the lowering springs. specially when it sounds like a whining sound that goes with the RPM range....

It could be something in the upper mount itself, are you running camber plates? |

i had a similar issue on my 335i. The dealer fixed it by tightening the struts that connect the firewall the the strut towers. Apparently one of the techs didnt torque them down enough after replacing a fuel and oil sensor.
Again i dont know why it would cause the noise but it definitely sounded like one of my accessories was about to die/fall off.

I had the same problem. The power steering fluid was low and on hard corners, the pump was sucking in air. After a bit of driving, the air would purge out of the system and the sound would go away.
Where the power steering fluid went? I have no clue. I've never had to touch the power steering fluid on any car.
