    cv's screwed pwr steer rack squeaks heinoulsy

    YO my cv joint knocks like a biatch and my pwr steer rack squeaks all the way to the right no noise to the left, can anyone inform me on whether it needs power steer flush and new fluid and same for the cv as its constantly knocking..

    any info would be much appreciated..

    i am slightly annoyed as i have bought the car which was promised to be mechanically a1, i've had my vr for around 3 months and since i bought it i have spent approx at least 2grand in maintainance, i have replaced the windshield $300, slave cylinder $240, overflow bottle $80, radiator $300, rocker gasket $35, oil pressure switch $30, sump gasket $45, thermostat housing and all o rings and clips $150, just bought cv boot kit so i got gaskets and grease aswell as the boots for $200, all genuine beside the windscreen of course.. the auxillary water pump screwed out so the previous owner and dodgy mechanic whom i wont mention decided to fill the aux water pump with glue until it blew out, the radiator top pipe(plastic end) blew apart days after i bought it, cv joints and powersteer rack boots all cable tied, viscous fan coupling is cable tied together and then cable tied to the fan shroud so it doesn't fall off, some more dodgy mechanics... im sure there is more i just forgot.. anyone with info on my future repairs would be much appreciated..

    thanks people

    Same problem on my vr.. the squeaking and the jagged steering at low speeds. I saw somewhere that it could also be your tie rods but then again who knows. Let me know how it goes.
