What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration When the Air Conditioner is On?
1 Answers
Turning on the air conditioner increases the engine load. Insufficient vehicle power can result in vibration. Below is an introduction to steering wheel vibration: 1. Encountering bumpy roads: This occurs because, while driving, loose tie rod ends or detached rubber bushings at the joints, along with irregular tire wear, can cause vibration. It is advisable to have the vehicle inspected at a professional repair shop and replace any damaged components. 2. High-speed driving: Excessive or frequent braking can cause the brake discs and pads to overheat and deform upon cooling, leading to steering wheel vibration. Typically, replacing the brake discs and pads resolves the issue. 3. Turning on the air conditioner: As mentioned, this increases the engine load. Insufficient vehicle power can lead to vibration.
