What is the solution for the steering gear noise in Peugeot 4008?

It should be a problem with the shock absorber bearing. Here are the relevant explanations: Cause: To determine whether the steering gear noise comes from the shock absorber or the steering gear itself, if it is the noise from the shock absorber, it should be a problem with the shock absorber bearing. If it is the steering gear noise, it may be due to insufficient lubrication of the steering wheel's universal joint or rust on the steering shaft, which causes noise when turning the steering wheel, or it may be noise from the steering gear's rack and pinion. Safety hazard: If the noise is not from the shock absorber, then check whether the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings will not only cause noise when turning the steering wheel but also make noise when driving on uneven roads. Loose stabilizer bar bushings can be fixed by adding shims, but if they are damaged, they must be replaced.
