I am about to tackle mine but dont have lift. .. i plan to drive car on ramps, disconnect universal joint as you have done and suspend a cup of diesel immersing the joint over night to penetrate right into the joint, give it a good old range of movement in the morning , refit and spray lube over it

It would be worth removing the steering column from the steering rack, then checking to see if the joint is tight. It should be simple enough to determine 🤞🤞👍👍

@alsherry7155 Жыл бұрын

Im actually looking at an 2009 A4 B8 sline at the moment and the steering is pretty heavy. Not normal but the car is mint and i like it. Having looked online it seems different to what most are saying about steering issues as its constantly heavy not just at different speeds but drives fine. But it is a concern and has me concerned about purchasing it although i really like the car. Does this sound to you like what this one was like would love to hear from you as its putting me off buying a lovely one. Any advice much appreciated. Car is faultless apart from this issue. Thanks

@kennedysgarage3281 Жыл бұрын

When driving mine it was heavy all the time but it got slightly heavier in spots when turning. So I couldn’t say if it is the same issue, but I don’t think it would put me off buying the car if it is so good. The power steering on these are quite simple and inexpensive to repair. So if I were you I would buy it but try to bargain them down slightly due to need it repaired 🤔🤔

@ridhwanpatel7265 Жыл бұрын

Mines heavy all the time aswell, but I think this issue is heavier even more than normal. I bought mine and went from a focus so was wierded out by the heaviness. It's normal now and I'm use to it. But if it's heavy then loose then it'll be the rack.

Hi! I own an Audi A4 2012 1.8 RHD, the steering rack is not working, the scan error is 01309 J500 the control unit, can I replace only the control unit? I can’t afford a new steering rack.

@kennedysgarage3281 Жыл бұрын

Hi Marian, as far as I’m aware the control unit is part of the steering rack. Maybe they can be separated but I haven’t ever done it. I did need to change a steering rack which I believe is a common failing part & hard to get secondhand, I think the rack is around €1500 new from Audi 😬😬
