Is it normal to hear a slight sound when turning the steering wheel quickly?
1 Answers
It is not normal to hear a slight sound when turning the steering wheel quickly. Reasons for the sound when turning the steering wheel quickly: Most hydraulic power steering pumps exhibit this phenomenon. When turning the steering wheel, the power steering fluid cannot circulate smoothly, causing a squeaking sound. It could also be due to friction between the combination switch housing and the steering wheel. Loosening and adjusting the housing's fixing screws can help. Another possibility is a spring clip inside the combination switch housing. Excessive or insufficient front wheel toe-in can cause tire scrubbing sounds when turning the steering wheel due to non-parallel steering of the front wheels. Solutions for the sound when turning the steering wheel quickly: Avoid holding the steering wheel at full lock for extended periods. If you must turn it to full lock, try to keep the duration short to prevent damage to the power steering pump.
