What Causes the Spring Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel?
1 Answers
There are many reasons for a noise when turning the steering wheel, such as issues with the steering wheel airbag clock spring, loose or damaged stabilizer bar, problems with the shock absorber top bearing, or friction between plastic components. Noises when turning the steering wheel can be categorized into two scenarios: 1. Noise when turning the steering wheel while parked: The noise usually comes from inside the car, often caused by friction between the horn wire transmission spring and the steering wheel. 2. Noise when turning the steering wheel while driving: This is mostly caused by non-parallel front wheel alignment or issues with the CV joint, typically originating from the car's front suspension.
