Creaking steering and sticking steering

Post by Williams97 » Mon May 03, 2021 7:11 pm

Hi everyone,

Had my 2004 3.0 Z4 since march and loving it so much more than the mk5 Golf GTI i had before! The car does seem to have this issue of when manoeuvring of that the steering will creak pretty much every time I move the steering wheel. When moving it hardly does it its mainly when parking but I have heard it a few times when driving. I have read quite a bit about the steering column having issues but i haven't read much about the creaking issue.

I have also experienced the steering appear to stick. Mainly when at motorway speeds after a period of time it usually feels like its a bit stuck and requires a bit more force to move wheel.

Any help is appreciated :D

Creaking could be dried out drop links. As for the sticky steering, there's loads of threads on that.
