What Causes the Rattling Sound Inside the Steering Wheel When Driving on Rough Roads?
1 Answers
The rattling sound inside the steering wheel when driving on rough roads can be caused by: 1. Insufficient lubrication in the steering column, leading to increased friction; 2. Low level of power steering fluid; 3. Issues with the universal joint; 4. Aging and hardening of the rubber bushings in the suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Damage to the thrust bearing. The steering wheel is a round device used to control the direction of cars, ships, and airplanes. It is typically connected to the steering shaft via splines and functions to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a frame, foam padding, and mounting clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB).
