rob275 1817 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 So for the past week reversing out my driveway i'm hearing a clicking noise when turning the wheel whilst reversing. It seems to be coming from the steering rack area and the only reason i'm posting is I haven't really had a chance to look at where the noise it coming from exactly and pinpoint the problem. Has anyone had this? It literally seems to only be audible when reversing which is strange. The easiest way to describe the sound is if you get a pen and flick the clip on it. I reckon it's not something too sinister and probably one of my dodgy cable ties catching the rack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 So is it "while reversing", or "while wheel is turned full-lock"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 no the wheel is only turned 90degrees tops when it occurs really. I don't think it's steering angle related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ade 517 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 Is the clicking noise time with the speed of the car? If its when turning the wheel, then could be coil bind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 Well i've only noticed it reversing at low speed out my driveway. It's not particularly loud and sounds internal. I'd hazard it's been there for a while i've just not heard it due to my exhaust but now I have the OEM one back on. EDIT: Not so sure now, wound the window down at lunch and could hear it outside. Doesn't occur all the time though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 My bet would be on coil bind too. And not that it doesn't happen at higher speeds, just that at higher speed that noise drowns in road/engine noise, but is heard during low/quiet speed. Maybe you can visit some wide parking lot and try few maneuvers forth & back steering from right to left. 2nd version - something with wheel bearings.

Ztox 230 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 In all seriousness it probably is just coil bind, what I was telling you I had before. I'll tell you if it sounds the same as mine when I see you Saturday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
