1 Answers
Abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel while driving can be caused by: 1. Excessive clearance in the steering rack gear; 2. Excessive clearance in the universal transmission device; 3. Damage to the shock absorber pressure bearing; 4. Contaminated or deteriorated hydraulic oil with reduced lubrication performance; 5. Failure of the power steering pump. Solutions for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel while driving include: 1. Adjusting the clearance of the steering rack gear or universal transmission device; 2. Inspecting and replacing the shock absorber pressure bearing; 3. Promptly replacing the hydraulic oil; 4. Checking the operation of the power steering pump. Steering wheels can be categorized into single-spoke, dual-spoke, triple-spoke, and four-spoke designs. Their function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft.
