Official Solution for 4008 Steering Wheel Abnormal Noise
2 Answers
The sound is produced by the return clip of the turn signal automatic return mechanism, which is normal. A dry friction noise occurs when the steering column dust cover lacks lubrication. Applying some grease inside the dust cover will eliminate the noise. Remove the steering wheel clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it still occurs, replace the clock spring.
When hearing noises while turning, my 4008 had this issue before. The official Peugeot solution is to directly contact the nearest 4S dealership or authorized service center to schedule an inspection. Technicians typically check components like the steering column and ball joints to determine if the noise is caused by insufficient lubrication or part wear. They'll use professional diagnostic equipment—minor issues might just require lubrication, while major ones could need part replacements. Repairs are usually free under warranty, and post-warranty costs are reasonable. I must emphasize not to delay this, as steering system problems pose significant safety risks. For extra advice, remind the service staff to inspect the steering components during regular maintenance to prevent recurrence. After all, safe driving is the priority—getting it fixed early ensures peace of mind on the road.
