Took me a million years to figure this out. Been having this since april. To be fair, 99% of the time between then and now is not me trying to diagnose it but.
I finally figured out the noise.
If you hear this:
It is your LCA bushings!
Tie rod, ball joint, end links and steering rack all...
I'm about to scream.
So. I posted before about having creaking noises when steering and loose steering when turning my wheel.
Happens basically anytime under 35 mph.
The lower the speed, the louder it is.
The noise can even happen when going from a full stop to moving to the reverse.
Can even...
Minus the VWRacers page. It's the only one I can ask a question in and not get shit in return for no reason. And most in there really know what they're talking about.
Here is the best answer you're ever going to get.

Would a lack of end links cause this? I...
Update on mine.
I doubt this is all the issues but none the less. Driver side front end link came loose and nut came off and is gone.
I have ST XTAs and like a dumbass they came with longer end links but I assumed they were basically the same as OEM so I left the OEMs on for the install...
I'm thinking sub frame is loose possibly. Gonna go to Les Schwab and have them check the bolts.
I had a friend turn the wheel while I listened and it only happens when turned full lock either way when stationary. If I start to move off the driveway you immediately hear it.
So far it sounds like...
Long bizarre story. The issue has been here for almost a year. Started out as clunking front right. Then months later or rather about 2 weeks ago the sound stopped entirely for a bit. Then I got squeaking front right for like max a few days then nothing. Did my track event (yeah I know lol).
