Steering Noises
Steering Noises
I have a polo gti and when I steer it left and right sometimes it makes a clicking noise, at first I thought it was scrating against my jeans. I dont know exactly what it is. At first I thought maybe its a wheel bearing so I let go of the steering wheel and checked if the car would steer itself to a direction which I think it did slightly to the left. Can anyone help would be good as its helpful as you know to everyone else. Would be very much appreciated.

Re: Steering Noises
The car will steer to the left when you let go - its a safety feature
Its most likely the springs rotating on the top mounts in the suspension as this makes a clicking noise.

Re: Steering Noises
Is this a clicking at low speed?
Could be a failed or failing ball joint... or a dodgy CV joint....
