2020 RCF TE eeking noise when slightly steer
I recently noticed that my car makes a non-repeating cricket noise when I slightly steer the wheel. The noise is not constant; it can be loud at times and not at all at other times. Sometimes, it even disappears for a while. I can’t pinpoint the exact location of the noise, but it definitely seems to be coming from the passenger front. full locking U-turn driving or parking is also fine.

Yeah, a weird noise indeed. Almost sounds like coming from the carbon ceramics. I know it sounds weird since you are not stepping on the brakes, but that is the type of noise I would typically hear when I am braking. Did you try different modes? You are using normal mode and since the steering changes in SPORT+, do you get the same noise?

Seems like most noticeable on normal driving and light input on steering. it disappeared when I drove hard. making sudden turns and fullly locking for u-turns also didn’t replicate it. I suspect it a normal behavior of carbon ceramic brakes but its weird because I didn’t touch the brake at all.
