What Are the Causes of Steering Wheel Squeaking When Shaking Left and Right?
1 Answers
Steering wheel squeaking when shaking left and right can be caused by the following reasons: Sound from the steering column dust cover: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it may be from the steering column dust cover. Due to lack of lubrication in the dust cover, friction sounds can occur. Solution: Apply some grease inside the dust cover. Noise from inside the steering wheel: This could be caused by the airbag clock spring. Note: When removing the steering wheel, disconnect the airbag fuse to prevent the airbag from deploying. Solution: Remove the steering wheel airbag clock spring and apply grease. Noise from the stabilizer bar: Check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noise not only when turning the steering wheel but also when driving on uneven roads. Solution: For loose stabilizer bar bushings, shims can be added.
