Reasons for the clicking sound when just turning the steering wheel in reverse?
1 Answers
Most hydraulic power steering pumps exhibit this phenomenon. When turning the steering wheel, the power steering fluid cannot circulate smoothly when obstructed, resulting in this squeaking sound. It could be the noise from friction between the combination switch housing and the steering wheel. Try loosening the housing mounting screws and adjusting it. Below is information about hydraulic power steering pumps: 1. The automotive power steering pump refers to a component that helps improve and stabilize vehicle performance. 2. Its main function is to assist drivers in adjusting the vehicle's direction. Currently, all vehicles are equipped with power steering pumps, mainly including steering power pumps and brake vacuum booster pumps. 3. The electro-hydraulic power steering system overcomes the shortcomings of traditional hydraulic power steering systems. During low-speed, large-angle turns, the electronic control unit drives the electro-hydraulic pump to operate at high speed and output greater power, making it easier for drivers to turn the steering wheel.
