TDISport2002 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi all, I can hear a bearing sound from my steering wheel when at slow speeds or a complete stop. It is audible outside the car but specifically inside, and it sounds like a belt driven simulator wheel when turned. What am I looking at? Thanks.

cliffcoggin Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I don't recognise your description "belt driven simulator wheel", but a noise when turning the steering wheel could be one of the bushes supporting the column or one of the rubber bushes in the steering linkage.

TDISport2002 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 Thanks. How expensive do you think this will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I haven't the faintest idea. The cost will depend on which bush needs to be changed and whether you are going to do the job yourself or pay somebody to do it for you. The first task surely is to identify what precisely is wrong before making a decision on a solution. I suggest you get somebody to wriggle the steering wheel to and fro while you look and feel the bushes holding the steering column (I think there are two of them), then do the same to the steering linkage under the car including the rack mounting points. If the sound does not give away the location the vibration of a creaky joint sometimes will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
