This genuine Audi Steering Column Cover, part number 4J3-857-397-6PS, transmits driver input to the road wheels, where free play, friction, and mounting rigidity determine both steering precision and the vehicle's ability to hold a straight line. Ordering genuine avoids the fit and durability compromises that come with aftermarket substitutes. Fitment varies by model year, trim, and option content, so verify before ordering.

Key Product Information
Additional Information
| SYMPTOMS | Drivers usually notice the following before replacing 4J3-857-397-6PS: a clunk or knock over bumps, wandering or vague on center feel, a steering wheel that sits off center, uneven tire wear, or a whine that rises with steering effort. Noting which conditions are present shortens diagnosis considerably at the shop. |
| TROUBLESHOOTING | Diagnosis on vehicles using 4J3-857-397-6PS should start here: rock the wheel at ten and two with the vehicle raised to locate play, then have an assistant turn the wheel while you watch each joint and mount for lost motion before condemning the rack. Confirming the diagnosis first avoids replacing a healthy component. |
| INSTALLATION | Service replacement of 4J3-857-397-6PS ends with a four wheel alignment, and on electromechanical systems the steering angle sensor must be recalibrated with a scan tool before the assist strategy will work correctly. This work is best performed by a technician with Audi specific tooling and documentation. |
| MAINTENANCE | Service upkeep for this steering column (4J3-857-397-6PS) means inspecting boots, joints, and fluid level where applicable, since a split boot is what turns a sealed joint into a worn one. A short inspection at each service keeps small issues from becoming large ones. |
| GENERAL_NOTES | Fitment note for this steering column (4J3-857-397-6PS): Audi uses several steering variants including dynamic and progressive systems, so match the part to the vehicle's option content rather than to the body style alone. This is a genuine Audi part supplied through the factory parts network. |
| REPLACEMENTS | Associated components for the 4J3-857-397-6PS repair: boots, clamps, tie rod ends, and alignment hardware are commonly renewed with the assembly, and an alignment is mandatory afterward. Most of the labor here is access, so replacing adjacent wear items now costs very little extra. |
