Here are the reasons for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel: 1. Plastic component friction. The steering wheel is composed of plastic parts, which harden in cold temperatures, causing friction noise. 2. Damaged steering wheel clock spring. If the noise comes from the steering wheel, remove the clock spring and apply a small amount of grease. If the noise persists, replace the clock spring. 3. Aging of the tie rod end. An aging tie rod end causes steering wheel vibration and noise, requiring replacement of the tie rod end and a four-wheel alignment. 4. Noise from the stabilizer bar. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noise when turning, which can be resolved by adding shims. 5. Noise from the shock absorber top mount bearing. Open the hood; if the noise comes from the shock absorber top mount, it indicates noise from the bearing. Apply a small amount of grease. 6. Steering gear failure. Loud noise during steering is due to excessive gear clearance, requiring replacement of the steering gear. 7. Improper tension or aging of the power steering belt. An improperly tensioned or aged belt can cause noise. Adjust the belt tension or replace the belt.

Can National IV vehicles still be transferred and licensed?

National IV emission standard vehicles cannot be licensed, but those already licensed can still be used. At the same time, used cars with National IV emission standards can be transferred within the same city. Transfers to other regions are mostly acceptable, but in many places such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and some cities in Hebei and Jiangsu provinces, National V emission standards are required for transfer. Since April 1, 2018, the transfer of National IV emission vehicles has been restricted. All coastal provinces do not allow the transfer and licensing of National IV emission standard vehicles: The National Fourth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, referred to as the 'National IV Emission Standard' or 'National IV Standard,' mainly regulates pollutants such as HC (hydrocarbons), NOx (nitrogen oxides), CO (carbon monoxide), and PM (particulate matter) emitted by vehicles. Through the application of technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, vehicle pollutant emissions are controlled and reduced to levels below the specified standards. The National 3 and National 4 standards are based on the European 3 and European 4 vehicle emission standards. Compared to National 2, National 3 further reduces pollutant emission limits. The tailpipe pollutant emission limits of China's National 3 standard are 30% lower than those of the National 2 standard, while the National 4 standard will reduce them by an additional 60%. To ensure that vehicles stably meet emission limit requirements during use and maintain the durability of emission control performance, requirements for On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and in-use compliance have been added.
