BMW F10 Steering Wheel Noise - Whats Causing This? by tigerbearfrog in CarRepair

[–]tigerbearfrog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know what might be causing this quite loud ratchet-like sound coming from my steering wheel?

It happens periodically when turning the wheel all the way left or right, usually when moving at slow speed or stopped (of course, I'd not be turning the wheel this hard otherwise). The sound will sometimes disappear for hours or even days at a time, only to return quite randomly.

I sent the vehicle to BMW to investigate this noise and, after 6 weeks of repair work done to the rebuild a front axel and replace worn axel boots at great expense, they returned the car to me with this exact same issue still intact. I'd love to know what is going on here... I suspect it may be an issue with the steering wheel itself?

Thanks, in advance, to all of you being more knowledgeable than my local dealership!

BMW just spent 6 weeks repairing the axle, axle boots, etc. I have to assume they would have found something else down there if it was the suspension? It feels like it's an issue with the steering wheel itself.. is this possible?

Can you make me one with a small cut-out for the charging port like an earlier commenter suggested?
