What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel in Place?
1 Answers
Reasons for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel in place: It might be the sound of the horn wire transmission spring steel plate rubbing against the steering wheel. It is recommended to apply some lubricating oil at the friction point between the spring steel plate and the steering wheel. If the noise is a slight friction sound between the tires and the ground, it is normal. However, any unusual noise is not normal. Below are specific explanations regarding the causes of abnormal noise: 1. The noise when turning the steering wheel in place is likely the sound of the horn wire transmission spring steel plate rubbing against the steering wheel. Usually, the noise comes from inside the car and is a rustling metal friction sound. The solution is to apply some lubricating oil at the friction point between the spring steel plate and the steering wheel. 2. If the noise occurs while driving, it usually comes from the front suspension outside the car. If it is a sharp squeaking sound, it might be due to excessive or insufficient front wheel toe-in, causing tire friction when turning the wheels non-parallel. If the sound is a 'clicking' noise, it indicates excessive wear of the car's half-shaft CV joint, suggesting it needs replacement. Typically, noise when turning left indicates damage to the right-side CV joint.
