Steering sound

[wt_know]

drive at low speed below 40kmph
turn right ... turn left ... violently to simulate the sound

can hear the ngeet ngeet sound ... only while turning right ... turning left no sound :thinking:

not sure is suspension sound or steering sound
this has been happening for 2-3 weeks liao

then i drove to a carpark ... drive like a mad man .. brake hard ... turn left turn right violently

the sound seems to get softer ... not so audible
and the occurrences of the sound also lesser

what could be the problem?

suspension
steering
control arm

hate to send in to pml and leave it there 1-2 days and probably got the answer ... err nothing wrong
please go back and monitor ... come in again if you hear the sound

Re: Steering sound

Re: Steering sound

Same vibration like noise (intermittent when gg over poorly paved roads in sports-suspension setting) coming thru steering. sent to pml & monitor / troubleshoot 2 days while coding A-S-S off. Problem claimed to be "solved" only to still resurface once in a while still. Give upz, seeking 2nd oponion when i do my 6k oil chg outside.

Re: Steering sound

my ngeet ngeet sound is persistent, i can simulate it easily
during normal driving hardly hear any sound be it on expressway or in the city stop-go-traffic turning left-right
going straight on the worst road condition also no sound
mileage is 8k now ... another 4k-5k for servicing ... during servicing will let pml SA know and "hope" he can assist

Re: Steering sound

You need to be driving slowly but turning the steering wheel fast to hear it.
Correct ?

Re: Steering sound

Yes ... especially turning right in carpark and also turning right while waiting at traffic light

How old is your car? Check the top suspension mountings. I had the same issue recently... my top suspension mounting was worn. Don't wait, send to workshop and check. If it is the top suspension mounting, then cheap to replace.. about $200+ to $300.

Re: Steering sound

Can hear it louder if windows down ?

Your car new so unlikely but based on symptoms - for older cars I would say maybe wheel bearings. Second area could be the suspension mounts. I remembered you changed to KW recently ?

Re: Steering sound

i suspect related to suspension. it just that mount is new, suspension is new, and i had my suspension checked twice. may be need to take out the whole suspension for 100% inspection plus reinstall. sian.

Re: Steering sound

Bro, did you recently adjust the elevation on the steering wheel? You just need to move half a inch up or down and try.
It happened to me and my mechanic did that, and voila!

Re: Steering sound

Re: Steering sound

probably go to another workshop for a "new" pair of eyes to inspect the suspension and re-torque all the nuts
had my suspension checked twice on the same workshop that install the suspension and nothing found

so far, no harm done nor felt yet
the drive still steady poon pi pi
i have asked around and many commented ... coilover tend to have sound here and there ... it's a whole experience comes with coilover

in my previous experience with kw v1 on my e90, it also damage my front top mount prematurely and also got sound at the rear

this time i got sound in front and rear ... front is ngeet ngeet like rubber greasing and rear is spring hitting when compressed-decompressed

Maybe just re-torque all the nuts etc ......

I had this sound which you mention, it only occurs when I turn my steering to the left. Encounter it almost daily and this "phenomenon" has been happening for a long time which I am still unable to find the root cause.

Other than the disturbing noise, ride is fine though.

Re: Steering sound

Try adjusting the elevation of the steering.
Should works.
