Hello,

'With heavily angled wheels under load... when starting, I hear a clicking noise in the drive system. This noise occurs in both directions.'

I can't locate the error on the lift platform, or the problem doesn't occur there.
Has anyone had any experience with this?

Sounds like a constant velocity joint (CV joint).

Take a look at the bellows of the drive shafts. On Audi A4/B4 models, these tend to fail quite often, leading to bearing damage. Other potential problem areas include the strut mounts and the tie rod ends.

Here's the translation:

'Another question: Is this a one-time sound, or is it a continuous noise?'
