What causes the clicking sound when turning the steering wheel in an Q5?
1 Answers
This situation may be caused by a faulty top mount bearing of the shock absorber, insufficient lubrication in the steering column's transmission system, or abnormal noise from the steering gear. When this occurs, it is necessary to seek professional inspection and repair. Additional information is as follows: 1. Electric Power Steering (EPS) System: The Electric Power Steering system is a power steering system that directly relies on an electric motor to provide auxiliary torque. Compared to the traditional Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS) system, the EPS system has many advantages. The EPS mainly consists of a torque sensor, vehicle speed sensor, electric motor, reduction mechanism, and Electronic Control Unit (ECU). 2. Power Steering: Power steering assists the driver in adjusting the car's direction, reducing the effort required to turn the steering wheel. Of course, power steering also plays a certain role in the safety and fuel efficiency of the vehicle.
