Weird Steering Noise Randomly When Hot. Video Inside.

WhiteFury · 05-31-2014, 06:31 PM

I noticed my steering rack or something in the suspension makes this noise only when it's hot, after I parked the car for a couple of hours it completely goes away. It only comes back randomly and it's not all the time.

Only when I turn the wheel to the right. If I turn left and right fast it's only for the first split second of turning. If I keep turning it stops and then starts again.

What is this?

I'm not sure wich noise you mean...

A typical BMW disease is the noise the steering makes in summer when you let your car stand in the sun... It Sounds like cheap plastic rubbing

The solution is changing a worn rondel between the steeringwheel and steeringcolumn!

In the video you can hear the high pitched squeak.
