Knocking noise when steering at dead slow speed
« on: November 18, 2011, 03:58:14 pm »
I've noticed a slight knocking noise when doing a 3 point turn, or very slow full lock turn in a car park or doing a u-ey. It happens when I am turning the wheel in an anti-clockwise direction.

Does anyone have any experience of this or know what it could be? I don't hear anything in normal driving.

Cheers,

Ian

Im having geometry done soon so may upgrade the topmounts to TTRS / RS3 ones.  I have new track rod ends and will soon have new ball joints with TT lower arms.

Brilliant, thanks for that, I'm going to get these ordered up tomorrow. Could be a cheap fix!

Looks like the bolts could be an Audi job, the shims are VW apparently.

Mike, It sounds like you might have the same problem with these bolts stretching, as described previously. I'm going to buy them today and get them fitted next week, so I'll let you know if it does the trick. I do love a cheap fix!

I had my Steering Rack replaced under warranty for having the same noise  :sad1:

It's quite a common thing apparently.
