anyone had this issue (2004 E53 3.0 D Auto

[Smeeagain]

ok this is anew on one me and not seen anyone reporting similar as far as I can recall.

When I turn the steering wheel I get a  squeaking sound. Really irritating. Worse when turning the vehicle to the left than the right. Sound like something is rubbing. Any ideas what could be causing this and what to lubricate ?

I've tried adjusting steering wheel position which improves it slightly but it not the wheel position that I want

Power steering fluid?

[Smeeagain]

what makes you say that?

[jason1872]

i had similar and turned out to be the track control arm,ball joint making the noise.

[Smeeagain]

because it was knackered or does it make the noise because it needs lubricated (if it can be)?

[jason1872]

it wasn't knocking or anything,just kinda squeak or rubbing like noise when i turned the wheel,i cut a small hole in the rubber boot that covers the ball joint and put some engine oil in it,result no noise so changed the whole arm.

Mine does the same very faintly,  turn on the wireless and you can't hear it , think it's probably the contacts between the steering wheel and the column.

I knew it would make someone  chuckle lol , a wireless is more reliable than a x5  )

[Smeeagain]

Wireless is new - I prefer to switch on the radiogram

.......and wait 10 minutes for the valves to warm up.  That's why cars didn't have heater, the wireless did it all.

Ah, the days of 'The Light Programme'.........
