Steering wheel creaks when turning

What could be the cause of this ? I attached video of the sound. That was taken while parked

 

reposting the attachment so it's easier to play

Steering Wheel Video

 

Are you sure it's the steering wheel and not the tyres?
What temperature is it outside ?

That's the sound my joints make when I do the same thing

Doesn't sound normal - unfortunately probably need to take it in.

 

I am afraid this is completely normal...
If outside temperature lowers, and mostly with summer tires,you will have this crackling sound. It's due to the assymetric layout of the front wheels.
They all have it. (Those with winter tires or rear wheel steering a bit less)

 

Sound is coming from the inside , ok woll get it checksd asap thanks !

 

I had a double take watching your video, because I thought it was the video I took a few weeks back, until I saw the PDK indicator on your dash ;-) (mine's manual) My car is doing something similar-ih, except it was more of a styrofoam on styrofoam squeeeeak, or the sound chewbacca might make when stretching.... yours sounds like a creaky spring... Does it come and go ? Mine does, seems temp/humidity related, I bet something in there expands and contracts and could use some lube...

I could not reproduce at last dealer check, did not seem worthy of expenditure now that I am 4 weeks out of warranty. I'm waiting for it to get worse so it's hard to miss for the tech... pretty sure it's not dangerous.

 

GregD Have you looked into your dash to see if you could identify the reason?

Pop the end cap and take a look inside and see if you can see anything.

 

...

 

In my case it's not an outside noise or tire related in any way, it's definitely in car very near me, in the steering mechanism.

Have not looked into my dash, I have 30 stitches in my back right now and it's gonna be a month before I consider this kind of contorsions, I'll live with Chewbacca for a while (grooming is a bitch).. Good idea though, will take a look inside - problem is it's intermittent ;-) Good news is it's intermittent on the rare side.

 

OUCH. Bear Attack? Enjoy the meds the squeak can wait.

 

That would be a better story... No, 3 layers of 10, it's not long but it's deep ;-0
Driving the 991 right now is excruciating, in traffic... But I do anyway, without pain meds, because I did not buy a Buick ;-) Some you win, some you lose.

 

Hi APristi,

I have the same sound as you described in your video when I turn my steering wheel left or right while park. Were you able to fix the steering wheel creaking sound?

Thanks in advance.

 

Hi...has anyone on this forum with 991.1 experienced this sound while turning the steering left or right? The car is parked. Thanks in advance.

Use a Steelman Electronic Ear or mechanic’s stethoscope to listen and isolate sound while another person turns steering wheel. I isolated squeaking sound to my LF strut mount. Sprayed strut mount with silicone and sound disappeared. So, replaced my front strut mounts.
