Elantra HD (2006-10) :: Creaking Noise While Turning Steering Wheel To Left?

I bought an '08 Elantra about a month ago. A few weeks after buying it i noticed a creaking noise while turning the steering wheel to the left. It happens at low speeds or when stopped, but I haven't heard anything at high speeds. I can't tell for sure but it sounds closer to the inside of the car than the outside and will happen the entire time the steering wheel is turning to the left. No sound turning it to the right.

My brother liked my car so we test drove 3 other Elantras, 2 '08s and an '09. Two of them made the exact same noise. He ended up liking the one that didn't but after a while his started making the EXACT same noise too. I'm thinking this must be a common problem with the '07-'10 Elantras as all 4 cars had the same noise, but I can't find anything about it.

My right strut is bad and I'm having both front struts replaced Monday, so if it's something that can be done while he's doing the struts I'd like to find out before he takes everything apart so he doesn't have to do it twice.

Accent MC (2006-11) :: Creaking And Squeaking On Turning Steering Wheel Left Or Right When Parked

Turning my steering wheel left or right, especially when parked, there's a very noticeable creaking. This happens as well when I am going over bumps in a parking lot or somewhere at a low speed. The car itself turns fine, not sticking or power steering loss. So I am not quite sure whats going on here.. At 71k miles 2010.

Golf/GTI VII :: Creaking Steering When Turning At Low Speeds

At low speeds, turning the steering wheel I hear a creaking sound similar to rubber on rubber. Sounds like skateboard trucks bushings how they creak. It's starting to get louder and is annoying. No damage to car just started one day and keeps going. Have to bring it to the dealer but the only good vw place around is an hour and a half away.

Golf/GTI VI :: Chassis Creaking When Turning Wheel At Idle

Coming from somewhere in the front half of the car, but I am not able to isolate to left, right or center. Jacked it up yesterday and sprayed WD40 on the sway bar bushings to see if it fixes it - nope. There doesn't seem to be any shifting in the strut towers. Haven't checked the subframe bolts yet. No creaking when front end is jacked so, only under load.

Started happening a few weeks after I installed the DG springs so not sure if it's connected or not. I made sure to replace all the stretch bolts as indicated and the job went smoothly.

Sound is like an old door's metal hinges type of creak. Creaks across the whole turning radius, which makes me think it's not the suspension but subframe or some other loose mount?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Weird Creaking Sound All The Time Except While Turning?

i started hearing this weird creaking noise about a month ago. When it started happening it would only occur at very low speeds and then it would stop, now it happens all the time unless i'm turning. I've heard it could be bushings but I'm not sure. What weirds me out is a lot of the time it'll stop either when I'm turning or if I shift into neutral.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Squeak / Slight Creaking Sound In Steering Wheel

I've noticed lately when I turn the steering wheel slowly I get a slight creaking sound from somewhere behind the wheel. What is causing it and if it's worth tearing it apart to fix it. I only notice the noise when the radio is off and turning the wheel while sitting still.

Golf/GTI VI :: Creaking / Rattling Sound When Turning A Corner Or Entering A Parking Lot

So I recently traded in my '09 GTI for a 2012...and noticed that the same door 'creaking/rattling' sound is on the new one as was on the older model. This happens if I am turning a corner, entering a parking lot, etc. Not a huge deal, but annoying nonetheless.

Passat (B6) :: Clicking Sound When Turning The Steering Wheel

Getting a slight clicking sound/feel when turning the steering wheel when either stopped or moving very slowly. It's most noticeable when turning in and out of a parking space. Don't think it's subframe but may the strut bearing caps.

Camry :: 2009 - Clunking Sound When Turning Steering Wheel

So my 09' Camry now has 130K KMs on it and for the last few months I've had an issue where when I turn the steering wheel (at rest and while moving) there is a clunking sound and feel in the steering wheel at various spots in the steering wheel rotation.

I'm worried the u-joints (if it uses them) in the steering column are worn out and might need replacing/lubricating but I'm not sure how to address the issue without an expensive Out of warranty visit to the dealer.

Celica :: 1997 - Belt Squeal Sound On Turning Steering Wheel

We recently purchased our 17 year old son a 97 celica, Problem, when he goes out in the morning to start it, it sounds like a is belt squealing really really bad. We changed the tensioner and it stopped for about a week and then returned. We sprayed the belt with belt dressing to determine which belt it was, one at a time, it was the one that goes to the alternator, so we put a new belt on it, the sound stopped this time for a few days and returned.

This happens whether it is wet or dry, but seems to be worse when dry. The sound lasts for a few minutes and usually goes away. I thought it sounded (the actual sound) like power steering. The sound does get worse when we turn the steering wheel, then when the steering wheel is straightened it goes away. My son said now it periodically will do it will drive for no apparent reason and go away.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Clunk / Thud Sound When Turning Steering Wheel

I'm a 2nd owner of a 2011 Sonata, and am currently at 99,800 miles. I have an extended warranty (so I've been told) that covers powertrain I believe until 100,000? When turning the wheel to the right then left, or vice versa, theres a clunk/thud sound produced from the steering column.

I am assuming this is not normal. Will my hyundai dealer cover this since it seems to be a common annoyance on these cars. Is it dangerous to not get it fixed?

Camry :: Power Steering Leaking - Popping Sound While Turning Wheel

I returned from my 2nd Deployment on the 5th of July and noticed I had no (what I thought to be) brake fluid. SO i bought some DOT 3 and filled it. A month later(2 days ago ish) I re-filled again with DOT 3. As I put the cap back on I noticed it said power steering... So I found the guide here and flushed the power steering completely. I thought that maybe the brake fluid had just been squeezed out of the lines somehow but I was wrong. Sitting, the car drips power steering fluid. A resevoir every 12 or so hours. I looked at it and found that it is not coming from the resevoir or lines or from the pump area. Instead it is coming from what I assume is called the boot? It is on the driver side. Where the half shaft comes out from the tranny there is another smaller piston arm looking thing that is hooked up to the power steering system and from there it is just dripping out. And the fluid on the actual arm or w/e it is called.

Issue # 2: Anytime I turn the wheel all the way left or right I hear a pop from that side of the car to which I turn. Any others have this as well? Or could these two issues be related?

Prius (Gen 3) :: Vibration And Soft / Sharp Squeak Sound Comes Out On Turning Steering Wheel

so I was heading off the freeway to take my exit at night. Didn't see there was a little curb island between the main freeway and exit. Went with the car over the curb and my right passenger tire went out.

I changed the tire and driven off, then noticed the car sound got much louder all of a sudden and when I turn the steering wheel right or left, I hear or feel a heavy sharp sensation- yet the car turns fine, it just sounds louder when I press the gas and when I turn the steering wheel I can feel my feet vibrating a bit and a soft/sharp squeak sound comes out.

What could this be?
