What Causes the Clicking Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel to Full Lock?
1 Answers
The reasons for the clicking sound when turning the steering wheel to full lock are: 1. Failure of the plane bearing or top rubber mount; 2. Malfunction of the clock spring (spiral cable) inside the steering wheel. Solutions for the clicking sound when turning the steering wheel to full lock include: 1. Promptly replacing the power steering fluid; 2. Timely replacement of the steering gear. The abnormal noise when the steering wheel is turned to full lock is related to the hydraulic fluid and the working process of the hydraulic power steering system. The engine provides power to the power steering pump, which then supplies hydraulic assistance to the steering gear. The power for the steering system comes from the hydraulic fluid. If the hydraulic fluid becomes dirty or deteriorates, the formed oil film cannot meet normal working strength, and the deteriorated fluid's lubricating performance decreases, leading to increased friction between metal components.
