What Causes the Clicking Sound in Highlander's Steering Wheel?
1 Answers
Steering wheel noise issues could be due to excessive clearance in the steering gear's rack and pinion, or it might be caused by excessive play in the universal drive assembly. A more precise diagnosis requires listening to the specific sound characteristics. Such noises may also be related to the shock absorber's pressure bearing, whose damage is primarily associated with driving habits. Additional Information: Driving Precautions: 1. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stationary; try to steer only after the car begins moving. 2. After parking, always return the steering wheel to the center position to prevent unnecessary stress on the suspension system and tires. 3. When making U-turns, try to avoid turning the steering wheel to its extreme lock positions. We recommend visiting an authorized 4S dealership for a thorough inspection to identify the exact cause of the issue and ensure timely resolution.
