What Causes the Noise at the Wheels When Turning the Steering Wheel While Stationary?
1 Answers
Car stationary steering wheel noise is caused by the normal tire noise emitted by the vehicle. Every tire produces noise, but the timing and volume of the noise vary, which does not affect normal use. The following are the damages caused by stationary steering: Impact on Tire Lifespan: When the vehicle turns the steering wheel while stationary, the weight of the car is concentrated on the front wheels. This can cause uneven wear on the tire tread, increasing driving hazards. Premature Aging of the Steering Wheel: Repeated stationary steering keeps the steering wheel under constant high stress, leading to premature aging. This results in reduced operational flexibility, slower response times, and potential safety risks. Weakened Load Capacity: During stationary steering, most vehicles rely on vacuum power assistance, which causes significant wear and can severely shorten the lifespan of vehicle components. Drivers should turn the steering wheel while the vehicle is moving, as this is the correct driving practice.
