    Creaking steering when cold/low speed?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I left my car parked all weekend with temps around 25-30 degrees F. I go to finally drive it and pulling out of the parking space in reverse with the wheels cranked, it makes a bad noise. Almost like a mild version of when your CVs go bad. Happens in low forward gears too. Seems to continue even once driven for awhile. Any ideas what this could be? About 3 years ago the power steering pump and rack were replaced due to noise (according to the audi receipts i got from previous owner).

    Sounds like the power steering again. Check the lines coming from the pump and the pump itself for leaks and cracks.

    check PS fluid level too - might be a quick fix.

    BRING BACK GCC REP!!

    jason1st: If you just want a good job and to be able to take care of your family with a lot of security etc. Canada is a great place for that.

    If you want to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women, then the United States is where you should be.
