Just had my steering rack replaced with a refurbished one and the steering is now perfect with no play at all, however my 16v has always suffered with a vibration noise/grinding noise when turning left only so when the rack was being done I had the inner and outer boots (nearside) replaced with new renault ones but the problem is still there!! also I now have a vibration/grinding noise when the car is going in a straight line!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the hell is going on?????????????????

wheel bearings?

Could it not be an engine mount that is knackered so therefore the engine is moving more and rubbing up against something causing a vibration sound??

i dont know if this is true i heard it a while back, if your cv joints are knackered when turning left, then its the right side thats knackered, and vice versa!!​

The problem wasn't any of the above but the engine heat shield had slipped and was rubbing on the power steering rack.
