How to Deal with Slight Sticking in Electronic Power Steering Wheel?
1 Answers
Electronic power steering wheel sticking is mainly caused by incorrect toe-in value of tires, lack of lubrication in the steering gear, floor mats obstructing the steering column, and poor assembly process of the steering gear. The details are as follows: 1. Incorrect toe-in value of tires. If there is a "squeaking" sound when turning the steering wheel while driving, it indicates that the toe-in value is incorrect, causing the front wheels to be non-parallel and resulting in tire wear and sticking. In this case, the toe-in value should be readjusted or a four-wheel alignment should be performed to ensure the tires are parallel. 2. Lack of lubrication. If there is a noticeable "creaking" sound and sticking when turning the steering wheel while stationary, it indicates that the internal components of the steering gear are scraping against each other. In this case, the steering gear should be disassembled and relubricated to ensure smooth operation of the internal components. 3. Floor mat obstruction. If the floor mats are obstructing the steering column, sticking may also occur when turning the steering wheel. The solution is simply to readjust the position of the floor mats. 4. Assembly process. If the steering wheel has quality issues or there were poor assembly quality control problems when the car left the factory, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, and a claim can be filed if necessary.
