What are the causes of steering wheel bumping noises?
1 Answers
Causes of steering wheel noises mainly include the following: 1. Unlubricated steering column with high friction. 2. Check the power steering fluid. 3. Inspect the universal joint for issues. 4. Aging and hardening of the rubber bushings on the suspension stabilizer bar links. 5. Damage to the thrust bearing. Below are the correct methods for steering: 1. Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary; try to steer only after the vehicle is in motion. Stationary steering should only be used occasionally in special circumstances for maneuvering out of tight spots. 2. After the vehicle is parked, return the steering wheel to the center position to avoid placing load on the suspension system and tires. 3. When making a U-turn, try to avoid turning the steering wheel to the lock position.
