I've had this slight vibration/buzzing noise when turing left, but not when going right. the noise is so quiet that rolling down a window makes the noise disapear.
I drive about 6 miles aday, never getting above 30 mph so that may play into it.

Reciently on i had to take a 600 mile trip, and i found out that when at a higher speed, when turning left the steering wheel has a mind of it's own, i have to fight with it to keep it to the left some times. sharper turns this is more pronounced. the noise does not get louder.

Simple stuff i can do, though i'm reasonably sure i'm going to be out of my element on this.

I want some input from the masses on potential problems, so i can tell a mechanic to pack sand if he's blowing smoke. The mechanics around here think everyone is millionaires. I thank each one of you in advanced.
