i30 N Steering Noise / Creaking

No such luck...I would be very happy indeed if that worked on my car.
It's been in to Hyundai today. They've just called to say that the noise is better after they greased the steering rack but it's still there. They're now ordering a new steering rack but that won't be in until the beginning of January.
Think we all have, so far it's the tyres, the heat shield, the LSD, the steering rack, there is obviously a fundamental flaw in the design for so many things to be blamed.
This is getting blown up out of proportion. The dealers couldn't diagnose a fart in most cases.
This car is exceptional and very well screwed together. There seem to be a few members who are constantly berating the vehicle.
They have both been blamed by posters who have a knocking graunchy sound at slow speeds on full lock. As well as other things that could cause it, don't think they have got to the bottom of it some dealers have apparently said it's normal.
I just assumed it was a very common thing, though all may be a slight exaggeration.
It isn’t a fault and it is normal. I have it, I double checked with them it’s normal, it is, we all have it. Changed my tyres and it’s gone except when it’s particularly cold. There’s no fault with the tyres. I didn’t like them so I changed them. If you don’t like them change them. Mainly UK posters have complained of this, because of the climate here and that we don’t ‘do’ winter tyres (for the most part) like the guys in Europe.
Google it. How it works and what it is.
The rack stuff is mainly a grease job, yes some have had faulty racks (I won’t make a joke here), but to say the car has a fundamental flaw is, well, wrong. The car’s allowed to have faults. All cars do. But what you’re talking about isn’t a ‘fundamental flaw’, maybe consider purchasing a standard i30 which will remove these ‘faults’ almost instantly.
I've had this on every car I've ever had with diffs and wide tyres. If you think the i30N is bad, try manouevring an Audi RS3 in a confined space. It sounds like the tyres are going to come off the rims.
I think the creaking/knocking from the steering (a fault) is getting mixed up with the behaviour of the front differential (not a fault).
Then why has no other car I have ever owned made this horrible noise? and believe me I've had every kind of hot hatch going, to me it is a fundamental flaw, now I know it's normal it no longer worries me but it sounds horrible and why would I want an ORDINARY i30? don't know how loud your noise is on full lock at low speeds but believe me if you were in my car the first time it did it it would have scared the hell out of you, my wife was very alarmed I love the car but can't believe this should just be shrugged off as oh! that's normal.
I have moaned about the noise on here *a lot* and everything else before anyone else gets in there
. To get out of my driveway in the morning the slightest bit of lock was awful. I changed the tyres and fixed it, unless it is well in to minus°C. It is normal. The ordinary i30 comment was a bit of sarcasm. Get rid of the LSD and then you won’t get the noise. Put winter/different tyres on it and you’ll be sorted.I own an Abarth and even that bloody does it when it’s cold.
