Hi All,

when I turn the steering left or right, I can hear from the engine bay creaking sound, like the creeking door sound from the Thriller Vedio Clip.

I have changed the coupling reacently. Any thing I missed?

Do you mean the sound of the engine bay is echoing through your steering wheel? if so i assume you have a badge in the middle of the steering wheel. If so pop it out and wedge some blue-tac or foam on the end of the steering column. You will be amazed how much quieter it will be !

The column is hollow and transmits the engine noise through it very well 8)

Do you have your foot on the brake while turning the wheels?

Andrew, Definitely I dont have my foot on the brake when turning all the time, but some times I am sure I have to slow down when taking a turn right.

What does this brake got to do with noise from steering while turning?
