What causes slight wobbling and knocking sounds in the steering wheel?
1 Answers
It could be due to increased clearance between the steering rack and pinion gears, excessive play in the universal joint drive assembly, or issues with the shock absorber's pressure shaft. The solution is to apply some lubricating oil at the friction point between the steering column and steering wheel. Other scenarios of steering wheel noises: 1. Noise while driving: If the noise occurs during driving, the sound usually comes from the front suspension area outside the vehicle. 2. Sharp squeaking sound: This is likely caused by improper front wheel toe-in (either too large or too small), resulting in tire scrubbing noise when turning due to non-parallel wheel alignment. 3. Clicking or rattling sound: This indicates excessive wear in the vehicle's CV joint (constant velocity joint), which requires replacement.
