Great Video! I have a 2009 Audi Q5 . I have a bit a play when i turn left and right with a slight vibration when i drive . Feels a bit jumpy . Hard to explain. Any idea what it could be ?

My steering will not move completely, my steering light is on, would this be because the steering shaft needs replaced?

Nice presentation, can the intermediate steering shaft damage the steering rack module?

@EuropeanAutoRepair 11 ай бұрын

I’ve havent seen that and can’t picture how it could really, do you have a issue with your steering gear?

@bomberman21321 11 ай бұрын

@@EuropeanAutoRepair The steering wheel is hard to move left or right, the steering shaft end is rusted. I was first told it was the steering rack and now I'm told it's perhaps the intermediate shaft. Neither have been replaced yet. Don't know what to believe anymore. The only warning indicator was "engine light" on. Any ideas?

@EuropeanAutoRepair 11 ай бұрын

If you just pull the one pinch bolt off the bottom of the steering shaft you can slip the u joint off the steering gear and feel if it is seized, if the steering is difficult and easier through the rotation it’s likely the shaft, the intermittent shaft is much more common of a problem

After replacement do you need rest or recalibration of steering angle sensor? And what happens if you don't lock steering wheel during the process.

@EuropeanAutoRepair 2 жыл бұрын

No recalibration required, as long as the steering wheel doesn't spin with the rod disconnected its OK. If it does you may damage clock spring

@EuropeanAutoRepair 2 жыл бұрын

Should need steering angle recalibration, they are made very accurate. If you don't lock the wheel and loose position of center you can damage the clock spring

Thanks...but here's some additional info. It makes that "scraping" noise when standing still when you turn the steering wheel right or left. No noise if you're driving straight...only when turning. This is a real issue for me so would appreciate some additional help.

Thanks for that lead. Are they similar is the question though? I have an issue where my 2017 Q7 gets stiff and loosens when it wants while turning.

@EuropeanAutoRepair 5 ай бұрын

They are a different design but still utilizes u joints so it is possible tho not common on that model, more common to have those damaged wires causing stiff steering on that model

@thomasvideoa 5 ай бұрын

@@IWillBeAMillionair I had the same problem on my Q7. Before replacing the parts, You may try the following: 1. spray a lot WD40 on the u-joint (the lower one), and turn the steering to the left and right limit, then spray more WD 40 again to clean the rust and dirt. 2. Wait for several hours, spay white lithium greases and turn the steering wheel till the u-joint is covered with grease. After doing this, my Q7 is as smooth as new.

My 2015 Audi Q5 has a "scratching" noise whenever I turn the steering wheel left or right. Could this have something to do with the steering shaft also?

@EuropeanAutoRepair 2 жыл бұрын

If I had to guess id say no. Normally the way they fail no noise is associated with the problem. Check for broken front coil springs

@@EuropeanAutoRepair Actually, it's a common issue for Audi Q5/SQ5 to have "squeaking noise", because of the shaft is rubbing the sealing rubber, there is an Audi TSB for it. My 2016 Q5 had the noise when it was only 5000 miles. Audi dealer sprayed some grease in it, a few weeks later the noise came back. Then, the dealer replaced it under warranty. A year later, the noise gradually came back, and didn't bother to replace it again. I'm getting used to it, but it's annoying. Now, I'm thinking of replacing it myself. Thanks for the video.

@EuropeanAutoRepair Жыл бұрын

It's funny I had a Q5 come in last week with that squeaking from the steering grommet, it was a few weeks after the dealer replaced the steering shaft, I played with the positioning of the grommet on that bearing and seems to have taken care of it.

@@rickc9672 Make sure you don't have a broken front coil spring or anything like that. If not it may be a control arm issue. If you hear a rotation clicking with the wheel turned at low speed more then likely a front outer cv joint is failing. Check for torn boots
