What Causes the Squeaking Sound When the Steering Wheel is Turned to the Full Lock?
1 Answers
The squeaking sound when the steering wheel is turned to the full lock is caused by: 1. Faulty plane bearing or top rubber mount; 2. Malfunction of the clock spring inside the steering wheel. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a skeleton, foam, and corresponding installation clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB). The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via a spline. The steering intermediate shaft, serving as a connecting piece between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and makes the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle more reasonable.
