What causes the noise when turning the steering wheel while stationary?
1 Answers
The reasons for noise when turning the steering wheel while stationary are: 1. Lack of lubrication in the steering column, causing high friction; 2. Check if the power steering fluid is low; 3. Inspect the universal joint for any issues; 4. Aging and hardening of the rubber bushings in the chassis suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Damage to the thrust bearing. Relevant information about the steering wheel is as follows: 1. Introduction: Generally connected to the steering shaft via splines, its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. 2. Usage considerations: When using a larger diameter steering wheel, the force required from the driver's hands can be reduced. The steering intermediate shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and ensures more rational installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.
