What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel in a Mercedes-Benz?
1 Answers
Here are the possible reasons for the squeaking noise when turning the steering wheel in a Mercedes-Benz: 1. Insufficient power steering fluid: Low power steering fluid can make the steering wheel feel heavy and stiff, and may cause noise due to dry friction. 2. Lack of lubrication in the steering column dust cover: The dust cover prevents dirt accumulation, but the surrounding area can gather dust. Without proper lubrication, noticeable friction sounds may occur, which can usually be eliminated by applying some grease. 3. Clock spring (spiral cable) issue: If the noise clearly comes from inside the steering wheel, it is usually caused by a problem with the clock spring inside.
