What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel in Place?
1 Answers
Abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel in place is caused by a malfunction in the vehicle's steering system. The source of the malfunction varies, leading to different types of noises, which require step-by-step inspection. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Noise from the steering column dust cover: Whether the car is in motion or turning the steering wheel in place, this sound can be heard coming from below the steering wheel. In such cases, the steering column dust cover needs to be inspected. If the steering column dust cover lacks lubrication, it will produce a dry friction sound. Simply applying some grease to this area will eliminate the noise. 2. Noise from interference with the clock spring: When the car turns the steering wheel in place, the sound comes from inside the steering wheel. This issue is mostly due to interference with the clock spring inside the steering wheel, often caused by damage to the clock spring, which requires timely replacement.
