Default hissing noise.....

ok i have a couple questions. im new to the audi life so im not completely "in tune" with the car yet. but lately every time i turn on the car, i hear a loud hissing noise for just a few minutes, and it gradually goes away. what could cause this? Also, i just had the right front CV axle assembly replaced, yet im still hearing the clicking noise occasionally. as well as when i turn hard right (steering wheel as far right as possible) it extremely shaky and rough. any suggestions as to what that might be also? thanks

UPDATE- the shaking didnt start to accur until after i had the new right front cv assembly put it. any suggestions?

Hissing noise- Is it a tiptronic? Could be Secondary Air Pump which is normal.
Clicking - Like the others said it's probably another CV joint.
Shaking- At what speed does it shake the worst? It could be wheels/tires, InnerCV Joint, tie-rods, balljoints or control arm bushings

Default as far as the shaking goes

it didnt start to do the hard shaking until after iu had the new right front cv axle assembly installed. could it be faulty installation? or would it have anything to do with the fact that the right cv is brand new and the left is still the stock cv?

Hard to tell, need more info.
Speed at which it happens?
Brake pedal pulsate?
Steering wheel movement?
Only when braking/accelerating?

This info will help alot with diagnosis.

oh. the shaking and grinding noise only happens at low speeds. i mean it only when i have the wheel 100% turned right. i donmt beleive the brake pedal has any reaction to it. and the steering wheel just shakes when turned to that extent. and as far as i can tell, it happens at all times the wheel is turned hard right. no0t just when accelerating or braking

the installer of the axle didnt deform the inner fender cover during installation .. did he?? the inner cover could be touching the wheel if its out of place...

Faulty installation. Take it back to whoever installed it.

Sorry man, but that probably should have been the first step.

Diagnosis over the internet is pretty difficult on something with unique sounds and vibrations.

We're just chasing our tails here.
