What Causes Squeaking Noise from Front Wheels When Turning the Steering Wheel on Rainy Days?

[LeonardoLee]

The causes of abnormal noise from the front wheels when turning the steering wheel on rainy days may include the following: 1. Friction between plastic components: The steering wheel is usually made of plastic parts, and when the temperature drops, the plastic may harden, which can naturally produce friction sounds. 2. Noise from inside the steering wheel: If the abnormal noise comes from inside the steering wheel, it may be due to damage to the clock spring (airbag coil) inside the steering wheel. 3. Aging of the tie rod ball joint: When the steering tie rod ball joint ages, it can sometimes cause shaking or abnormal noise in the car's steering wheel. Typically, replacing the steering tie rod ball joint and performing a four-wheel alignment afterward can resolve the issue. 4. Steering system failure: If the noise during steering is very loud, it may be caused by excessive gear clearance in the steering gear, requiring replacement of the steering gear.
