What are the causes of abnormal noise in BMW steering gears?
1 Answers
Here are the causes and solutions for abnormal noise in BMW steering gears: 1. Friction between the steering column and floor mats: The newly installed floor mats are too large and directly contact the steering column, causing friction as the steering column rotates. Solution: Adjust the position of the floor mats or replace them. 2. Contaminated power steering fluid: If the power steering fluid is too dirty, it will increase the pressure in the power steering system, leading to abnormal noise from the power steering pump. Additionally, when the hydraulic oil becomes dirty or deteriorates, the formed oil film cannot meet normal working strength, and the lubricating performance of the deteriorated hydraulic oil decreases, intensifying friction between metal parts and reducing their service life. Solution: Regularly replace the power steering fluid.
