OK, I usually ignore most squeaking/rattling noises, but this one I can't ignore.
So, my 99 A6q has gotten this squeaking/creaking noise whenever I turn the steering wheel. Even when parked. Seems to be coming from the right side. Also, breaking and going over small bumps from a low speed induces this noise.
At first I thought it could be control arms. But the more I hear it, especially when I just turn the wheel while parked, the more I think tie rod end. I can hear it at low speeds as well. I changed both left and right outer tie rods about six maybe seven months. Could one or both of them have gone bad? Or is it something else?
