Audi S3 sportback steering wheel creak

[Hanzitariq]

Guys, I’m really having a bad time with my S3, getting a creaking when moving the steering wheel, was advised to change links and ball joints, after that advised to change coil and shocker top mount. Tried everything still got a bad creak especially when turning at low speeds sometimes a little clunk aswell. Need desperate help it’s really starting to effect me

can you tell if the creak is coming from the steering wheel area itself or more under the bonnet?
Only thinking, my old mk4 golf had a bit of creaking when steering & my b6 does now.. it seems to be the clock spring (whatever it's called) which is behind the steering wheel..

just a thought

Perhaps sticky front strut mounts.

Sorry; didn't see that you had checked that.
