What Causes the Creaking Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel in Hyundai Elantra?
1 Answers
There are several possible reasons for abnormal noises from the car steering wheel. Aging of the steering tie rod ball joint: Replace the ball joint of the steering tie rod and perform a four-wheel alignment. Leaking of the steering gear dust cover: Reinstall the dust cover or reapply grease. Steering gear malfunction: This may be caused by excessive clearance between the steering gear and the gear, requiring replacement of the steering gear. Lack of engine oil in the shock absorber's flat bearing: Additionally, if abnormal sounds from outside the car are heard when turning the steering wheel, it may be due to a lack of engine oil in the shock absorber's flat bearing. Simply open the engine hood and listen for the sound.
