What Causes Abnormal Noise When Turning a New Car?
1 Answers
The reasons for abnormal noise when turning a new car are: 1. Friction between plastic parts: The steering wheel is usually made of plastic components. If the temperature drops, the plastic may harden, naturally leading to friction sounds; 2. Damage to the clock spring in the steering wheel: Remove the steering wheel clock spring and apply some butter to check if the noise persists. If it does, replace the clock spring; 3. Aging of the steering tie rod ball joint; 4. Loosening or damage of the stabilizer bar bushings, which can be resolved by adding shims; 5. Noise from the plane bearing of the shock absorber, which can be mitigated by applying some butter to the plane bearing.
