Lo All,

Just had the Steering Rack replaced in my 2001 Prius after 30,000 miles...

Since I got it back, it has made a funny noise at high revs. I have done some checks and can't see anything wrong... Perhaps it's a gromit which has come off under the dash allowing more engine noise into the cabin.

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this.....

I hope someone can help........

I'm just hoping it's not the manifold or something or the Lambda sensor might give wrong readings and make the mix too rich....

Love the car :shock:

Anyone?

Sounds like you got a new noise during the steering wheel replacement. I don't hear it in my 2001 and haven't heard anyone else mention it. Ask your service department to check it out.

Funny Noise (Steering Rack Replaced)

I recently had the steering rack replaced on my 2002, but do not have the noises you describe. However, I do have a little rattle inside the dash that only I seem to be able to hear.

I think the dealer techs have selective hearing when it comes to finding rattles. Good luck fixing yours.

Now you mention it.... It could be a very high frequency rattle, but it seems to match the speed of the engine....

Will send it to the dealer again and see what they say.....

Hmmmm... Anyone Else?

I might copy this in the Tech forum and see what people say...
