What Causes the Abnormal Noise When a Volkswagen Turns?
3 Answers
The reasons for abnormal noise when a Volkswagen turns are: 1. Steering gear failure; 2. Abnormal noise from the shock absorber plane bearing or the stabilizer bar. Volkswagen models include: Tacqua, Tayron, T-Roc, Magotan, and Sagitar. Taking the Volkswagen Sagitar 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2731mm, and fuel tank capacity 50l. The Volkswagen Sagitar 2021 model is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 175Nm, matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I just heard that clicking sound when turning my Volkswagen, and it's really annoying. The reason is that turning noises in Volkswagens are mostly due to issues with the suspension system or steering components, such as aging shock absorbers or worn control arms. When the car body tilts, parts rubbing against each other can create strange noises. Another possibility is that the braking system is under slight pressure during turns, and misaligned brake pads can also cause a squealing sound. Once, because I didn't check it in time, I found out that the suspension arm was loose, and it cost me several hundred to fix. My advice is not to delay when you hear similar sounds—get a full inspection at a professional shop right away. After all, safety comes first when driving, and small issues can turn into big problems if ignored, leaving you with regrets. Also, pay extra attention during regular maintenance and keep an eye on the condition of the chassis to prevent problems from piling up and becoming more frustrating.
I think steering noise is quite common in Volkswagen cars, mainly due to issues with steering components. For example, if the tie rod or drive shaft is damaged, when you turn the steering wheel sharply, metal friction or excessive clearance can cause squeaking sounds. There might also be problems with the brake discs; improperly fixed calipers can produce abnormal noises. Additionally, tire-related factors like uneven wear or wheel hub deformation can cause cracking sounds when turning due to twisting. I once helped a friend check his Passat and found that the drive shaft spline was damaged. After replacing the part, the issue was resolved. When driving, pay attention to the source of the noise—whether it's from the front or rear wheels, turning left or right. Keeping clear records can make repairs more efficient. Don’t just ignore the sounds; if something goes wrong, it might be too late.
