Squeaking Fanatec CSL Elite Wheel Base

Phillip Carr

I just purchased the CSL Elite Bundle for PS4 (but I'm using it on PC). For some reason when I turn the wheel to the left between 20-50 degrees of rotation, I hear a squeaking sound coming from inside the wheel base. I believe it is coming from the main gear itself. Is this something I should use WD40 on, or is this some type of bigger issue? From what I can tell the wheel seems to be functioning just fine, but the squeaking might drive me crazy.

I would contact support.

Is ok the connection between the wheel base and the steering wheel?

Anyway what type of playseat are you using in the video?

I have a squeaking CSL Wheel Base and was wondering if this issue ever got resolved with yours?

Thanks
