BAD STEERING COLUMN AND PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL DIAGNOSES

Just a casual Monday and today i replaced worn out steering column on my A4 B6.
After a bit of research i decided to ahead and buy steering column from Audi A4 B7. Reason why I decided to fit B7 column is because 80% chance it will be in the good condition. Buying B6 column this days will be risky because most of them will be worn out.

Is that loose component that you replaced from the steering or column ? Or did you replace both rack and column

Steering column bud

I have the same issue what you had, mechanic is saying its the steering rack not the column. I showed him your vid, and said he already checked it without taking it apart. I think he checked it from underneath the car. Any suggestions bud? Btw its my passat b7 Thanks

It’s really hard to tell without physical check. You don’t have to take steering column out to test it for a play. You hold end bit where it mounts to steering rack ‘from inside of the car’ then turn steering wheel left to right smoothly and if column is bad you will feel play. Could be track rod ends too.

@@ReForceTek thanks buddy really appreciate your support. Its very hard to pin point rack or column issues garages find it hard. Once again cant thank you enough sir. Thanks 👍

@@ReForceTek hi buddy hope your well. Fitted rack and arms track rods and ends. Vibrating is still there but its more like sensation rather than really bad vibration now. And starts at 65mph and if your on the motorway and road inclines or declines you can also feel it. Im a bit lost on what to do now lol thanks

@@ImranAli-zm6yg my issue was a loose steering, not a vibration. 65-70 mph vibration usually caused by bad-damaged tyres or unbalanced wheels. Try swapping wheels from back to fronts. See if any better.

Hi there does this have anything to do with the steering angle sensor? Having the code come up, mechanic saying my column has a lot of play like yours, but we are both a bit stuck, thinking could be the rack. Any advice please cheers

Does angle sensor work by looking at the live data ?

Not sure, I’m not really a technical one I’m just a worried customer trying to do their own research really. He’s just told me that’s what’s coming up. Steering feels extremely loose, lots of play even when car is switched off, car leaning to the right, to the point where I need to use strength to get it back in line. Changed wishbones, bearings, shocks, been to tracking, still nothing.

Start with steering column U-Joint usually wears out first located next to the pedals. Feel for a play or little delay in movement while turning steering left and right. Worth checking steering wheel centre bolt behind airbag. Steering angle sensor is there for ESP/ABS and adaptive headlights.

@@AutoDasGarage appreciate the response, bought the column today as indeed there was lots of play down near the pedals, he’s going to fit that, and yes ESC light on and funny you mentioned headlight as strangely my headlight suddenly stopped working when set to auto? Comes back to life when switching left to off? And would a new steering angle sensor need calibrating, Thanks again bud appreciated
