Ford Mondeo whistle on power steering since fitting st220 18" alloy's

Car: Ford Mondeo
Variant: 1.8 zetec

the whistle seems to start once the car is warm and comes and goes when you move the steering wheel, did'nt notice until I fitted the 18" wheels.

Sounds like the Steering rack was slightly worn before you fitted the alloys maybe after a few thousand miles the problem would have come. After fitting the alloys to the car you put more strain on the rack which accelerated wear. in my shop we sell a chemical which will stop all these whines and bring your steering back to normal. call me on 01908 270 433
