Rattling Noise In The Area Of The Steering Shaft and Driver's Footwell
Vehicle Type:
Cayenne/Cayenne S/Cayenne Turbo
Model Year:
Model Year: As of '03 (3)
Concerns:
Rattle from steering shaft bearing on upper universal joint and preloading the steering shaft bearing to compensate for the play.
Information:
Rattling noise may occur in the vicinity of the steering shaft and the driver's footwell when driving the models Cayenne (V6), Cayenne S and Cayenne
Turbo over an uneven road surface (e.g. cobblestones) within the speed range of between 18 - 24 mph (30 - 40 km/h). The reason for this is the play
between the steering shaft and the steering shaft bearing on the upper universal joint.
On vehicles with complaints of this type, the steering shaft bearing on the upper universal joint must be preloaded to compensate for the play.
