Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Anyone have a steering creek noticeable at low speeds (driver's side)? If so, what was the problem in your case? What was done to fix it? My dealer can't seem to appreciate the sound that they are able to hear.

POST 2Original post

Sounds like you have a normal condition if you hear this when turning the wheels sharply. See the FAQ here: The Cayman Club - FAQ: Indiosyncrasies and the several similar threads about this as well.

POST 3Original post

Doesn't occur with sharp turns, but with small angles of steering input.

POST 4Original post

Hi DMK, I think I have the same thing, it sounds like a cable stretching to me. I was at the dealer for an engine service light and the Service Manager heard it "herself" and came back and said it was some sort of a bearing on the the leftside went bad, needed to order it and then have the car aligned. The part hasn't come in yet or they haven't called me yet but I will call them tomorrow and report back their findings once replaced.

POST 5Original post

Curious. I am going to have the car serviced for this issue tomorrow. I will post the problem and fix.

POST 6Original post

Steering Creek repaired I posted about a creek heard from the left from corner while making small changes in steering angle at 1-5 miles per hour. The problem was a faulty left front strut mount bearing. As opposed to the initial responses, this is not a normal sound.
