Abnormal noise in the power steering system: Possible causes include loose fixing screws, insufficient oil pressure in the oil tank or clogged oil tank vent, loose or damaged oil pump belt, air in the hydraulic system, overheating of the oil pump, blocked oil pump pipelines, or loose hose connections. Uneven steering effort to the left and right: Possible causes include improper assembly of the hydraulic valve, air on one side of the power cylinder piston, oil leakage or premature unloading on one side of the pressure relief valve, inconsistent tire pressure between the left and right front wheels, or uneven tightness of the front wheel bearings.
