What Causes the Sizzling Sound from the Steering Wheel?
1 Answers
The sizzling sound from the steering wheel may be due to abnormal noise from the steering gear or the steering linkage. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a frame, foam, and the corresponding installation clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB). The reasons for steering wheel vibration include: 1. Issues with the rubber bushings of the steering wheel transmission device; 2. Loose bolts fixing the steering wheel transmission device; 3. Problems with engine idle or steering gear; 4. Shock absorber failure; 5. Frame deformation; 6. Excessive meshing clearance of the drive gear; 7. Overheated brake discs or brake pads.
