What Causes the Squeaking Sound When a Car Turns at Low Speed?
1 Answers
Reasons for the squeaking sound when a car turns at low speed: 1. Friction between plastic components of the steering wheel; 2. The clock spring in the steering wheel; 3. Aging of the steering tie rod ball joint; 4. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings; 5. Abnormal noise from the shock absorber top mount bearing; 6. Malfunction of the steering gear; 7. Slippage of the power steering pump drive belt. When turning, the steering wheel operation should match the road curvature and coordinate with the driving speed, ensuring appropriate steering angle, proper timing, and timely return. Avoid turning the steering wheel too abruptly to prevent excessive centrifugal force, which may cause the car to skid or deviate, leading to potential hazards.
