2.0T steering wheel issue

[taragachov]

hi. mechanic sprayed strut mount with silicon. after assembly steering wheel became when turning one way soft and opposite way hard at parking speed. but it istandart hard at high speed. i am wondering if silicon spray is not suitable for strut mount and can it be an issue? no errors and calibration, zero center allignment is ok

Silicone spray won't hurt anything. It might not be a solution but it won't make anything worse. Sounds like you've got some kind of steering programming issue manifesting. Reading about all these - thankfully relatively rare - electronic issues always make me wish that the Stinger was more 'old school", without most of the computer controlled modules. The Stinger has 33 computer modules! Diagnosing any issues with any of them is dependent on yet another set of modules - the computer reading the troubleshooting feedback programs. "What could possibly go wrong?" Just anything.

i had no issues before mechanic disassembled the strut bar. looks like eps adding power where it is not needed. again no issues at high speed and dealer checked and said that calbration is ok and no errors

i think that maybe mount was almost dead and spray just made it worse and at turn it is just skidding and mdps catching that there is something worng with wheel and adding some effort where it is not needed?

one more thing. it was only left side that was disassembled, right side remained untouched
