Squeak at slow speed

Post by Flashredpolo »

In the last week or so my 2018 GTI has developed a squeak on the right side when turning at slow speeds sometimes.

Google says it could be CV/universal joints or tie rods ends that need lubricating.

Does this sound plausible and how would I go about this?

Is there a product VW recommend for this?

Thanks

If you could post a video of the sound that would be very useful. It could be something to do with the CV boots being compressed, but i would assume it’s to do with the brake disks rubbing when it’s in full lock as they can warp slightly as I was told from a main dealer. Having a video of the sound would help though.
