Is there a problem with my motor. You can hear a strange noise when the motor returns to its equilibrium position. seems to hit the part. Is this normal?

If you mean that "clicking" sound:

The source is not the motor. I'm not 100% sure but I think the "ball pins" and the steering links are causing the click. Or at full steering angle, the entire "steering package" at the front is pressed against the surrounding lift arms and when steering in the other direction, the friction causes the "click" - as I said: not 100% sure. But it's normal.

thank you.  I want to know if lego makes instructions like this or I have made it wrong somewhere

Yes, it does sound like the steering links clicking against the ball pins. I have the same thing.


You can test pretty easily by grabbing each with your hand and jiggling it. Chances are at least one is going to click.

If you're not changing the steering geometry you can't do much about this except to push in all parts fully if they're not already.
