What are the causes of steering wheel noise in the Buick Excelle?
1 Answers
Here are the possible causes of steering wheel noise in the Buick Excelle: 1. Turn signal reset: If the turn signal is activated while steering, the noise might be from the automatic turn signal reset mechanism. 2. Steering column dust cover: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it could be caused by the steering column dust cover lacking lubrication, resulting in friction sounds. 3. Steering wheel: If the noise originates from within the steering wheel, it's likely caused by the airbag clock spring inside. 4. Shock absorber top bearing: If the noise comes from outside the vehicle, it might be due to insufficient lubrication in the shock absorber's top bearing. 5. Stabilizer bar: Check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged bushings can cause noise not only when steering but also when driving on uneven roads. Loose bushings can be fixed by adding shims, while damaged ones must be replaced.
