Regarding Steering system groan.....

this may sound stupid, but there is a simple remedy to the Audi Steering system groan. I had a pretty significant groan happening in my steering so I thought that I would check my fluid and wouldn't you know it, it was below the "low level" indicator. Simply adding fluid fixed the groan completely. Now the next question...why was the fluid low to begin with....especially after a 10K check-up???? Will we ever know the answer to this one.......oh be on the lookout for our ALL NEW ads in all major magazines and Audi is represented with my car as pictured above.

I don't know if A4 steering racks are similar to my car's steering rack, but GM issued a recall recently regarding my steering rack. During hard cornering the unit can distort and the seals can become compromised, which causes the steering fluid to leak during that brief time during the distortion. Over time, the fluid level will become low, which has happened in my car.

Possibly the same thing is happening here?

Thinking about it but I have other things that I need to do, not a high priority.............
 
The ad is in the current Diald magazine, Eurotuner for July and European Car

That was a thought of mine, especially since it is driven hard on the track.....
 
I am going have it looked at during the next service

what tint is that on the windows? looks like 2 diff levels on front and back
 
i'm debating whether to go legal in VA where it's 50% front, 35% back, but dunno how bad that'll look. On yours though, it looks good especially if it is different levels
