What Causes the Clicking Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel While Stationary in a New Car?
1 Answers
Reasons for abnormal sounds when turning the steering wheel while stationary in a new car are as follows: Steering wheel not properly broken in: Abnormal sounds may occur when turning the steering wheel while stationary, which is a normal phenomenon. The noise will disappear after some use, so there is no need to worry in this case. Issues with the shock absorber: If the plane bearing of the shock absorber lacks lubrication, applying some grease can solve the problem. If the noise persists after greasing, replacement is necessary. Lack of lubrication in the steering column: The sound may come from the steering column dust cover, whether driving or turning the steering wheel while stationary, with the noise emanating from below the steering wheel. Simply inspect the steering column dust cover. Applying some grease will resolve this issue.
