picasso c3 noise from steering

Post by piki »

hi folks
in need of some more help.
i recently replace all of front suspension on my 2012 c2 picasso(shocks , a arm, tie rods) , also i rebuild the axles .
i noticed a noise in the front after i finish a turn .
so i have puted the vehicle front wheels in the air , and im holding the whell at 3 and 9 , moved it from side to side , and there is every few turns , a click noise coming from the sterring pump/stem.
its not happening while turning(not axle) , it happened after the turn , when i straighten the driving wheel.
Couldnt find any steering fluid , is it electronic motor ? click noise form there it mean send it to rebuild ? its easy to pul it out?

You do have an electric motor incorporated onto the steering rack, but it's going to be very hard to diagnose on a Forum and if the 'clicking' noise wasn't there before you did any work on it - that may be your best place to start and retrace your steps.

Hi greetings from Scotland . I have been having problems replacing springs and shock absorbers on my 2012 Citroen c3 Picasso right hand drive .can you advise me how you removed the front. Scuttle cover. To give you access to the nuts on the two front struts one on each side I managed one side by access via cabin filter but am now stuck as the wiper. Motor link arms are in the way.the plastic scuttle moves a little from side to side but I am at a loss and can not figure out how to remove it hope you can help thanks Ray.
