That's what I keep trying to tell my wife so that she'll let me get a Momo steering wheel lol. She's always worried about my safety. At least I know she loves me

I have this problem as well. My local Audi dealer told me to grab some power steering fluid from them (has to be Audi fluid) and put half in when it starts to do that. That takes care of it for about 2 months. There is a small leak in the line. I'm sure that's what this is. Or, you need new ball joints.

I've wanted to attempt to take apart the steering wheel to look in there but I'm a little nervous about the airbag going off. If I were to disconnect the battery, would that prevent this from happening, or is there still a risk?
