What is causing a rattling noise in my Audi 80's steering wheel?

I recently noticed a rattling noise coming from my Audi 80's steering wheel while driving at low speeds. It seems to happen more frequently when turning. Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?

It is possible that there is something stuck in the steering wheel column. Try checking for any debris or loose components and remove them if found. Otherwise, it could be a problem with the steering wheel's mounting or the power steering system.

If your Audi 80 has a tilt steering wheel, the rattling noise could be caused by a loose tilt mechanism. Try adjusting the tilt and see if the noise persists. If it does, it may need to be tightened or replaced.

One potential cause of a rattling noise in the steering wheel could be a worn or damaged steering column U-joint. This part is responsible for connecting the steering column to the steering rack, and if it becomes loose or worn out, it can create a rattling sound. Have a mechanic inspect this part and replace if needed.
