Guys, I have a 02 996 c2. Carbon steering wheel. Moving lock to lock it has developed a noise that almost sounds like there is something lose in the rim of the wheel (in the carbon bits?). However maybe also sounds like a bearing etc in the inside. Any suggestions before I take to Northway for a look? Cheers Mike

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.

try grabbing each of the front wheels at 3am and 9pm and giving them a good push and pull. See if there is any slack or clonking at that end. it could be a mid column U/J ? is the noise only heard/felt at full lock both directions ?or is it def inside the carbon sterring wheel ? if so it could simply be a loose bit of carbon chipped off somewhere
Doesn't need full lock. Just spinning the wheel left-right-left. Driving me nuts.
