How to Perfectly Solve the Steering Noise Issue in A4L?

[VanCharles]

Here are the solutions to address the steering noise in A4: 1. Friction between the steering column and the floor mat: This is mainly caused by oversized aftermarket floor mats (such as full-coverage mats) that come into direct contact with the steering column. As the steering column moves, friction occurs. Adjusting the position of the floor mat or replacing it can resolve the issue. 2. Faulty clock spring inside the steering wheel: If the steering wheel has been disassembled, pay extra attention. The issue might be due to a broken clock spring or an unplugged clock spring connector. Replacing or securing it can fix the problem. 3. Worn-out or loose steering tie rod end: Replace the steering tie rod end, but a wheel alignment is required after replacement.
