What Causes the Clicking Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel?
1 Answers
The reasons for the clicking sound when turning the steering wheel are as follows: 1. In the lower steering column area, it could be caused by loose bolts or insufficient lubrication. 2. In the vehicle chassis area, primarily due to excessive clearance in suspension components or loose bolts, which requires inspection. Additional information: Abnormal sounds when turning the steering wheel may be related to temperature changes, or possibly a fault in the steering column. As temperatures drop, plastic components harden, leading to noises when turning the wheel. Small clearances during rotation may cause friction, which may normalize after a break-in period. The exact cause depends on the specific situation.
