i30 N Steering Noise / Creaking

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
I have been able to capture the sound on video. I had to go over the curb "faster" today and the sound was even worse, usually I go over very slow, and it is less intense. I have just realised that the sound comes from the glovebox area, opposite fromnthe steering rack.

Thing is that while driving I don't hear anything, not even when going over speed bumps, looks like it is just when the wheel is turned.

Any idea what it might be?

Have your dealership service check the Strut Tower bushing and bearings. 👍🇺🇸

Will do that! I have just realized one thing. When I go over the curb from my left side (steering wheel turned to the left), I hear the sound on the right side (glovebox). But when I go over my right side, I hear the sound in the drivers side, in the Steering wheel area.

Sounds like anti roll bar bushes then. Try some silicon spray on them.
 
Hadn't thought about the bushings. Good call!

Maybe, check the stabilizer bar end links as well. I know when they start to go, you get some popping or cracking as well.👍🇺🇸
 
Can someone send me a pic of exactly where we need to use the silicone grease. Mine just started. RH drove car. Hard to see where inside and outside to apply the grease.
 
If you search this thread for posts from me there are pics showing the locations.
 
I can't pick up on anything untoward in that clip, usually it can be heard from inside the car, all I can make out in that clip is the exhaust, best to take the exhaust back to eco mode and re-record.

No puedo detectar nada extraño en ese clip, generalmente se puede escuchar desde el interior del automóvil, todo lo que puedo distinguir en ese clip es el escape, lo mejor es volver a poner el escape en modo eco y volver a grabar.

On the video since 15 seconds starts the metallic "clicks" arround the front Left wheel when i turn the steering..
 
I couldn't hear that on my PC but I can on my phone. Sounds like the brake backplate or the pads fretting against the retaining pins. Strip the brakes, clean them up with brake cleaner, rough up the pads with some abrasive paper, 400 grit usually works, clean the pads pins, use ceratek on the pad ears sparingly, check the backplates. Make sure the caliper slides nicely side to side on the bushes, if not remove the slide bushes and clean and lubricate.
