What Causes the Clicking Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel After Installing Coilover Suspension?
1 Answers
The reasons for the clicking sound when turning the steering wheel after installing coilover suspension are as follows: Loose Shock Absorber Mounting: Long-term vibrations during driving can cause the mounting nuts to loosen, leading to abnormal noise from the shock absorber. Solution: Tighten the mounting nuts. Insufficient Shock Absorber Oil: Lack of oil in the shock absorber can also cause abnormal noise. Check for oil leakage. If there is leakage, it is recommended to replace the shock absorber directly. If there is no leakage, inspect other components of the shock absorber system. Worn Rubber Bushings: Worn rubber bushings at both ends of the shock absorber create play at the mounting points, causing noise during driving. Solution: Replace the rubber bushings. Deformed Components: Deformation of the shock absorber piston rod, cylinder tube, or oil reservoir can cause abnormal noise and lead to shock absorber failure, even posing safety risks. Repair is not recommended (as it is complicated). Instead, replace the shock absorber with a new one.
