Golf IV R32 :: Bouncing Steering Wheel Sounds Like Rattle?


Mar 17, 2011

During low speeds when I hit rough payment my steering wheel feels a little more bouncy than usual. Also I am hearing what sounds like a rattle in the front of the car. The steering feels tight otherwise.

Golf V R32 :: Steering Wheel Rattle Irrespective Of Positioning Of Wheel

Noisy steering wheel. It doesn't matter where I position the wheel, I'm hearing clatter when going over bumps or when putting pressure on the wheel. It has no effect on steering. I think it's coming from somewhere inside the adjustment mechanism. I figure the dealer will need to take a look.

Golf/GTI VI :: Clicking / Ticking Sounds From Steering Wheel / Column Area

My car is 2 months old. About one week ago, I began hearing a subtle clicking sound when turning the steering wheel fatter than 45 degree on either side. At first I thought it came from the turning signal mechanism doing "double clicks" since it sounded merely the same albeit being a bit quieter, but now I think it emanates from just behind the steering wheel.

Since then the problem got worse, not louder but more frequent. Maybe its just me being more aware and looking for it, I don't know. Also this weekend I changed my set of wheels for 18" with low profile tires, coming from the stock 16" vw mags. May not be related since the problem started before I changed the wheels, but since it got worse.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: Replaced Clutch Now Sounds Like Gravel Bouncing Around Under The Truck

I replaced the clutch, slave, flywheel and pilot bearing. Now it sounds like gravel bouncing around under the truck.

Everything works beautifully, but there is horrible noise especially at idle. If push the clutch it will quiet a little. If I change the rpm it will get worse then quiet out then get loud again, there is a sweet spot.

What the heck did I do wrong. It's a horrible gravelly grinding sound.

Passat (B7) :: Steering Wheel Rattle - Fix?

I have lots of rattles. I went to the dealer with little to no success. The one that is bothering me the most is coming from inside of the steering wheel.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Exhaust Heat Shield - Slight Creaking Noise That Sounds Similar To The Rattle

I've noticed that potentially my heat shield or whatever guard that is 1 step toward the front of the car from where the inlet pipe connects to the exhaust system may be the reason for my rattle at 2k and 3k rpms. i think its a heat shield but I am not sure. the thing is it seems properly mounted, nothing is cracked/broken/or loose. But when I do try and wiggle it it does make a slight creaking noise that sounds similar to the rattle I get. So I could foresee this as being my issue.

But, is there anyway to fix this rattle w/out just taking off the part? i figure its there for a reason and it looks like its held on in 2 places. But they're not nuts they almost look like spot welds or something. 1 on each side. What to do?

Something to get you all in here:

Passat (B5) :: Chrome Strips Popping Out / Rattle Under The Steering Wheel

It worries me that this is happening as they might come out completely during driving or whatever. It's not the chrome strips on the sides but the ones that are near the windows on the doors. It's both the chrome strips on the window/door sills and the non-chrome strips on top sides of the roof. I check them every now and then and just use my finger to pop them back in if they come out but it's just weird that this happens.

Also I have a bad rattle from the broken plastic cover thing under the steering wheel. (probably broken when changing brake thingie controller or whatever the mechanic said.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Constant Rattle Sound In Dashboard Directly In Front Of Steering Wheel

After 56k miles on my 2010 Type II, I suddenly started hearing a constants rattle sound that seemed to be located in the dashboard directly in front of the steering wheel. I got onto Prius Chat and researched every possible resolution, but not seemed to work UNTIL.... I saw someone had jokingly suggested squirting some WD-40 between the windshield and the windshield cowl. So, having nothing to loose, I gave that a try and... the rattle is gone! I can't explain it, but all I can tell you is my car is quiet again.

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Rattle On Driver Side Pillar And Seat Belt / Steering Wheel Clicking

Loving my Black on black ES350 so far with 4000 miles, bought July!

Having a very annoying rattle/creaking near the seat belt pillar on the driver's side? This occurs continously even on smooth highway roads. I will ask them to check it out at the 5k service.

Also, my steering wheel slightly "clicks" when turning the steering wheel 1 full turn to the right. It doesn't do it on the left side, and doesn't seem right. No turn signals or anything is on. Just seems flimsy with all these noises!

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Bad Wheel Bearing Cause Steering Wheel Shake?

I have a bad wheel bearing but on the highway my steering wheel shakes. It is only on the highway not down residential streets. I'm pretty sure it is the driver's side wheel bearing. I already balanced my wheels and everything.

Golf V R32 :: Steering Wheel Warning Light Red - No Power Steering?

My R32 which has around 45k was running fine until I went to leave work. As soon as I got in and went to back up I noticed, I had a red steering wheel warning light lit and I had no power steering. It ran fine at lunch and had been sitting for several hours at this point.

I only have two other known issues with my car. One the starter motor is squealing and has been for a while. When the dealer looked at it, he said it would probably fail one day, but it wasn't something I needed to take care of now. I have yet to have a single issue actually starting the car. I figured I would hold off until I found a local mechanic I liked since it was out of warranty. The other issue is during two especially hot days my fuel gauge fluctuated and I would get the low fuel warning even though I had more than half a tank. They also looked at that and said it was just the sending unit which failed to respond several times during their tests. It hasn't happened since but it was on the to do list.

Is it common for the power steering to just fail like that? I have read that a low or dying battery will give off weird electrical errors so I am hoping it might be something simple like that or possibly a fuse which I couldn't check tonight.

If it is not something simple like that, what I might be looking at as far as fixing it goes? Of course it had to happen on a Thursday night so I don't even know if I will be able to find somewhere to look at it and I don't have a scanner. Also without power steering I don't really trust trying to drive it anywhere.

Golf/GTI VI :: Rattle Noise While Moving And Turning The Wheel All The Way

Golf IV R32 :: Rattle From Right Rear Wheel Goes Away When Brakes Applied?

On the r32 there is a rattling noise coming from the right rear wheel. It's a very tinny sound and is definitely a metallic noise. The weird thing is as soon as you his the brake, it goes away. Even if you just lightly press on it, it stops. I took the wheel off, looked around for anything loose and found nothing. It's super loud though and completely embarrassing. My e36 bmw does the same exact thing as well and has done so for years, but its much quieter and not as often. On the mkiv its almost constant and at every speed.

Golf IV R32 :: Heavy Rattle Coming From Driver Front Wheel Well

Noticed a noise coming from the front drivers side of my r a while back. I only hear it when going over bumps and turning right. It sounds like rocks are hitting each other. Best way i can explain it. I can barely feel it in the steering wheel too. I also changed my summer tires out for winters on Monday and noticed that the inner tread of my tire on the front driver side is wearing faster. Where to begin to look? Tie rods and ends? I gave the wheel a pull in all directions when the car was jacked up and there's no play. Don't think its a bearing. R is bone stock with 47k on it.

Chevrolet - Lumina :: 1998 - Knocking / Bouncing Sound In The Right Rear Wheel Well When Brake

My 98 lumina seems to make a knocking/bouncing sound in the right rear wheel well when I brake. It never happens when I'm braking driving in the city (25 mph or so) but it happens when I'm closer to 40mph and up.

I thought it might've been a drum brake issue but I just had the brakes serviced about two or three weeks ago. It still does it. This isn't a new issue. It's something that's been going on for years.

Dodge - Charger :: Passenger Front Wheel Shaking / Bouncing At Highway Speed

My wife has a 2008 Dodge Charge SXT with the 3.5. The front passenger wheel is "shaking/bouncing" at highway speed, but only when turning that direction on a curve. It doesn't do this when turning left. We had the tires replaced, because that was the suggested fix because the tire was "chopped". They were at end of life anyway, past the ware bar. But it didn't work and it seems to be getting worse. One mechanic said he thought it was the wheel hub, another said tie rod. I replaced both front tie rod ends after the passenger one fell out about 18 months ago.

Ford Brakes/Suspension :: 1989 F350 4WD - Steering Shimmy / Front End Bouncing

Truck is an 89 single cab, single rear wheel F350 4x4 with 7.3 non turbo diesel and a c6 trans. not lifted, stock size tires. If you hit just the right bump, regardless of speed, the front end just goes crazy.. tires and wheel shoot violently side to side and its very frightening/dangerous. you can just barely hold the wheel, front end is bouncing and whole truck shakes from such rapid camber change as the contact patch swaps from inside to outside of the tread.

Tie rod end, draglink, steering stabilizer (add on,) shock absorbers (rancho,) and a wheel bearing are all brand new. With each part replaced the shake felt worse (since more of it was transmitted to the steering wheel rather than lost in the sloppy parts) and i took it off the road immediately.

Brand new steering box, put it back on the road, did it again less than a mile away. It rained all day so i haven't jacked the truck up again and really, I am quite sick of this problem.
