Why does the Audi steering wheel make noise when turning?
1 Answers
Audi steering wheel turning noise may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Friction between plastic components: Especially for new cars, the steering wheel consists of various plastic parts. If the clearance between components is too small, friction may occur during steering, which should disappear after a running-in period. 2. Friction between steering column and floor mat: Mainly caused by oversized aftermarket floor mats that directly contact the steering column, creating friction during rotation. 3. Faulty clock spring in steering wheel: This could be due to a broken clock spring or unplugged clock spring connector, requiring replacement or reconnection. 4. Worn steering tie rod end with excessive play: The steering tie rod end needs replacement, followed by a four-wheel alignment.
