What Causes the Noise in the Steering Gear Rack and Pinion?

[MollyAnn]

Noise in the steering gear rack and pinion may be caused by lack of lubrication, steering gear failure, insufficient tire pressure, and other reasons. Lack of Lubrication: If there is a lack of lubrication in the screws inside the steering wheel, it is necessary to remove the steering wheel cover and add lubricating oil inside. This should lubricate the tracks and shafts, resolving the issue. Steering Gear Failure: The steering gear may also malfunction. Normally, if the steering is turned too sharply during operation, it places a greater load on the steering gear, leading to severe wear and resulting noise. It is recommended to inspect and replace the faulty components. Insufficient Tire Pressure: Uneven tire pressure in the left front or right front tire can cause the front of the car to deviate, leading to unbalanced car bearings and misaligned steering gear, which in turn causes noise and deviation.
