Slight creak/squeak when turning at slow speed
just wanted to see if there are any guys out there that are experiencing a slight squeak or creak when turning the steering wheel especially at the end of rotation of the wheel. I hear it when I'm turning at a stop sign or in the garage when i'm cranking the wheel over a couple of times. Its more pronounced at the ends of the turn. Sounds like a a squeak or maybe a slight buzz. Anyone have this or know what it may be?

I have the same issue and it seems to be coming from the front struts on both sides. The dealer confirmed this and will be replacing both front struts sometime this week.

Thanks. Let me know how it goes and if it works, let us know what specific work was done. Its not a real big deal right now but I can see it developing to a point later where it will really bug me.
Thanks!

Guys - Also if you can tell me how they determined it was the struts it would be great. Is this a known issue where there is an internal service bulletin or did they just test drive it and figured it was that?
Mine isn't so bad right now so I can see going in there and the dealer just dismissing the problem b/c they'll "won't hear it". But you guys are probably like me and can hear any weird or unusual noise no matter how faint it is.
Thanks again.

iM WORKING WITH BENZEL BUSCH IN NEW JERSEY.
This is my 4th time in service, the first thought it was just a ball joint but replacing it did not resolve the problem.
Then my alighment was off and they had to remove my whole front end to do alignment.
finaly they determined its the struts, took 1 month to get parts in stock.
now waiting on status, so far 2 days and still not done

Yikes! Here i was thinking over the weekend that all they would have to do is go lube some joints or something to fix it. Thanks for your help guys. If you don't mind, let me know the name of your service advisor. I'm at Ray Catena. If they're hesitant, I'll have them call your guy at Benzl or your guy in LI, Albert.
Thanks, again. Cheers

I'm at Union, but i think the edison one has the bigger service dept. Probably won't go in for a few weeks but I'll keep you all posted on what they say.

I freaking hate this forum- I read this and thought "I aint got no noises" and then I was driving in a parking structure at low speed and rolled down the window; small clicks... WTF?

Fortunately, and unfortunately, I have the ears of a bat when it comes to squeaks and rattles...(coincidentally, they don't pick up on the wife's voice quite as well). I'm thinking this is the tip of the iceberg. The three of us are in the Northeast and I'm sure the cold weather up here helped aggravate the problem. At least we're catching it early, if that's any consolation. Good luck guys.

I am going to Rallye Motors, Roslyn NY this Friday to fix this problem. All the parts (struts) are in and ready to go. Will report Friday what they did and if it fixes the problem.

That's freaking crazy! When this thing goes out of warranty, we're screwed! Anyone know what the extended warranty costs? I heard it was something like 5 grand a year!

The set the toe and caster- no camber adjustment on these cars unless you install the bolts.

Shiznit!!! If they're underneath the car and turning the wheel, can't they isolate the sound? Sorry, I'm lost on what the next steps would be besides letting them do more tests. I'll take my car in soon to the dealer and see what they say.
