What Causes the Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel While Stationary?
1 Answers
Noise when turning the steering wheel while stationary is mainly caused by: 1. Damage to the vehicle's steering gear. 2. Friction in the shock absorber's top bearing. 3. Loose stabilizer bar. 4. Friction in the steering wheel's airbag clock spring, etc. The correct method for steering should be: 1. Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary; try to steer only after the vehicle starts moving. Stationary steering should only be used occasionally in special circumstances, such as when maneuvering out of a tight spot. 2. When the vehicle is parked, the steering wheel should be returned to the central position to prevent unnecessary load on the suspension system and tires. 3. When making a U-turn, try to avoid turning the steering wheel to its extreme positions.
