How to perfectly solve the steering gear noise issue in the Mazda Atenza?

[VanReed]

The cause of abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel should be determined based on the specific location from which the sound originates. If the noise occurs only after activating the turn signal switch and then turning the steering wheel, it is likely the sound from the return spring of the turn signal auto-return mechanism. If the noise is heard from beneath the steering wheel whenever the steering wheel is turned, whether stationary or while driving, the steering column dust cover should be inspected. If the noise seems to come from beneath the steering wheel during rotation, it may be due to the universal joint in the steering column.
