noise from steering rack
 

I have been hearing some squeaking noises from the front end when turning the wheel in parking lot maneuvers. I got it up in the air and figured out it was coming from inside the steering rack. Steering still feels pretty normal but just makes these noises when turning the wheel now. Anyone had this problem? Any service I can do? Should I be concerned and get it fixed right away? My inclination is that its not immediate but that it will probably get worse rather then better and will get to the point where I will have to do something. Be nice if there was something I could do in the mean time to prolong this but everything looks sealed, no grease fittings or anything I can see. If you had one replaced how much did it cost? Thanks for your feedback guys :)

Anyone had a steering rack failure? Ive only got about 130k on it

Anyone?

Yea i have this issue too when i turn to the left. but when i turn to the right there is a repeating thud. And idk what to do. Is there a service?

More then likely there is a hole in the boot and the grease leaked out.. you can get new boots and refill it with grease.. I had to replace mine cause when I got the car it was grinding when I turned the wheel.. easy to replace if you end up needing to replace it, did it myself in a few hours.. hardest part was lining the steering wheel back up

Check your engine mounts. The passenger side tends to wear out and it can make weird sounds as the engine moves around when you turn.
