Default Anyone having this issue with their car...steering sounds...and a tint question

When I turn the wheel and accelerate at the same time...only when at a full stop, starting to go forward...there is a "knocking" sound in the steering. Maybe one or two "knocks" and then it goes away. Seems to be coming from the front right of the car. Took it to Audi and service said that if it isn't effecting the handling, then it is probably ok, but if it gets worse or just bugs me, to bring it in and get it checked out. I know the guy well that I was talking to, and he isn't feeding me some line or crap because he doesn't want to try to fix it. Car has 2,000 miles, S-line. Don't know if that makes a different. Lastly, car goes in tonight for tint...anyone have 35% and have any complaints as that is what I am thinking of doing...?

tell him to shut-up and check it out NOW. As for tint - yes - 35% is nice!

Default Please check the tightness of the lug bolts..... does the knocking only occurr when turing in one

direction or both?

Does the knocking go away when turning and touch the brakes.

Default Only occurs...

Seems like it only occurs when I turn to the left, and just starting to move forward from a stop. Not sure if it goes away when I touch the brakes. I'm going to get it in this afternoon I think, and have a tech right with me and see what he says.
