    Problems arising

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a b6 s4 6 speed and it works great. Having some issues come to the surface. First one is squeak on bumps from the right rear area.. Strut mount or strut? Or bushings?

    The second one is when I cut the wheel all the way left I get a noise coming out of the steering rack ... Only notice doing u turns its fine otherwise. Sounds like a squeak or a dry squeak.

    Let me know what you guys think thanks !

    Check your axles and control arms for damage both front and rear. ;) nice whip!

    I would also lightly apply your brakes when going over the bumps and see if squeak goes away. If it does then it's your brake pads

    Thanks ! Im pretty sure the noise is coming from the centre of the fire wall; it seems to be making noise on any steering inputs. But I'll look into it

    New pads and rotors ! Sounds like a dry strut ? Possibly blown from stock struts + H & R springs?

    Check bolts holding the steering rack. Two or three from top one from the bottom. If you google steering rack replacement youll find pics where they are located. They tend to get loose

    I wouldnt say they go bad too often. More often the power steering hoses, thats for sure. But yeah they can go bad for sure.
