Reasons for Spring Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel?
1 Answers
Reasons for noise when turning the steering wheel include: 1. Friction between plastic components: Most steering wheel accessories are made of plastic. At lower temperatures, plastic hardens, and friction between components can cause noise, which is normal. 2. Issues with the steering wheel clock spring: In this case, the noise usually comes from inside the steering wheel. Applying some grease to the clock spring may help. If the noise persists, the clock spring may need replacement. 3. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar: Noise can also occur on rough roads. Adding shims to the stabilizer bar might solve the issue. If not, the stabilizer bar may need replacement. 4. Problems with the shock absorber top mount: If the shock absorber top mount lacks lubrication, it can also cause noise. Open the hood to locate the noise source. If it comes from the shock absorber top mount, the component may need replacement.
