Ok here is the deal: There is a loud noise when I turn the steering wheel quickly when stopped. I dont know if its the steering rack (it has been replaced) or anything else. It is a noticeable noise when turning the wheel...only when stopped. Its not the struts or mounts as the noise is coming more internal. Any thoughts or concerns?

 

Did you check your power steering fluid level??

 

if its a knocking noise that only happens when u jerk the wheel left and right while being stopped then yes its ur steering rack. i had to take my 08 two times to the dealer to get this fixed

 

Plenty, but not hard to to turn, just a noise in either direction

I hope so, cause thats an easy fix...dealer

 

lol yea i know but its a pain when u have to go get it fixed

 

ok, what are the other possible problems besides steering rack: Now when I turn the wheel stationary there is a loud popping noise. It couldnt be the CV joint could it? Discuss.

 

What about your springs? Some make creeking sounds.

 

They have never before and Ive had them for over a year now. I thought of that, but why now?

 

I don't know. I'm just throwing it out there. I have the eibach creeking but nothing to worry about. I checked the seating and everything looks fine. A spring is a spring. Maybe there are isolated cases with the progress product. Weather (moisture,etc.) can be a factor too.

 

Does it sound like a light saber? from star wars.. mine did/does it

 

no please keep the comments coming, it is very possible this is it

lol...no sounds more like a troll fart. i think I know what your talking about if its everytime you start your car and only once?

 

BINGO!

 

any luck with the noise yet?

 

going in tomorrow for the lumbar support fix. Hopefully just the rack

 

oh well good luck

 

It was a freekin endlink...Cant believe I missed that one. Hope this helps anyone else.

 

Maybe I should get mine checked since it does the same thing. I could be wrong about my noise being the strut spring. Hmmmm...

 

OK not the endlinks. Seems like when Im coming to a stop that the passenger side brake on rotor is making a clunking noise. Not a squeal. Any thoughts...its not the steering as I thought before. Ill have the car up saturday, hopefully something is loose. Noise not there when stopped and braking but can come when I turn the wheel only on the passenger side.
