What Are the Causes of Steering Wheel Noise While Driving?
1 Answers
Steering wheel noise while driving can be caused by: 1. Lack of lubrication in the steering column, resulting in increased friction; 2. Insufficient power steering fluid; 3. Issues with the universal joint; 4. Aging and hardening of the rubber bushings in the chassis suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Damage to the thrust bearing. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's rim into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft to change the vehicle's direction. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke, dual-spoke, triple-spoke, and four-spoke designs. The method to adjust the steering wheel height is: 1. Locate the lever at the base of the steering wheel; 2. Press the lever to adjust.
