1 Answers
Reasons for abnormal noise when steering: 1. Worn steering tie rod end causing play - replace the tie rod end and perform wheel alignment; 2. Leaking steering gear boot - replace the boot or re-grease; 3. Faulty steering gear with excessive gear clearance - requires steering gear replacement; 4. Improper tension or aging of power steering belt - adjust belt tension or replace the belt. Correct steering wheel usage methods: 1. Avoid turning the wheel while stationary - steer only after the vehicle is moving; 2. When parked, return the steering wheel to center position to prevent suspension and tire load; 3. When making U-turns, avoid turning the wheel to its mechanical limit.
