What Causes Abnormal Noise During Steering?

[SadieDella]

The main causes of abnormal noise during steering: 1. The steering column lacks lubrication, resulting in high friction. 2. Check if the power steering fluid is low. 3. Inspect the universal joint for any issues. 4. The rubber bushings of the suspension stabilizer bar links have aged and hardened. 5. The planar bearing is damaged. Reasons for abnormal noise when braking in an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. Normal ABS activation: The ABS operation involves a cycle of locking and releasing, keeping the vehicle in a state of near-lock rolling. When ABS is triggered by hard braking, a clunking sound may occur, which is normal. In this case, firmly press the brake pedal all the way. 2. 'Clunk' sound from the gearshift when braking in an automatic transmission vehicle: If you hear a 'clunk' sound between the transmission and the gear lever when pressing the brake pedal, the primary cause may be the electronic linkage between the brake system and the automatic transmission. Pressing the brake activates the transmission solenoid valve, producing the 'clunk' sound. This serves as a safety reminder, requiring the gear lever lock button to be pressed before shifting gears.
