Occasional clicking sounds when turning the steering wheel can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Turn signal reset sound: When the turn signal is activated while turning, the noise may come from the rebound clip of the automatic turn signal reset mechanism. 2. Steering column dust cover noise: The noise originates below the steering wheel, caused by insufficient lubrication of the steering column dust cover, leading to friction sounds. 3. Noise from inside the steering wheel: This may be due to the airbag clock spring inside the steering wheel. 4. Shock absorber thrust bearing noise: The noise comes from outside the vehicle, likely due to insufficient lubrication of the shock absorber thrust bearing. 5. Stabilizer bar noise: Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noise not only when turning but also when driving on uneven roads. Loose bushings can be fixed by adding shims, while damaged ones must be replaced.

How to Remove Cigarette Smell from the Car Interior?

If cleaning the carpets seems too troublesome, simply vacuuming them can also be quite effective. 2. Most cleaning agents have strong odor-removing capabilities. Spray them on all visible surfaces and then use a soft brush to spread the cleaning agent evenly. 3. Baking soda can absorb odors inside the car. Sprinkle baking soda on all porous surfaces in the car, use a soft brush to work the baking soda in, and let it sit for several hours or even a whole day.
