Steering Wheel Noise

Post by Amondin »

When i turn the wheel on my 528 there is a quiet, low knocking sound. Is this a part of normal wear or do i need to be replacing something? TIA

Welcome, I see this is your first post! Please read ALL of the Forum FAQ section.

No, knocking is not normal. The steering wheel telescopes, which is allowed by a splined joint. Remove the under-column cover and you'll see it. The gland nut at the junction could be loose. You want to tighten it to the point where it's just a teensy bit difficult the telescope the wheel.
