What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Turning the Car?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons for the squeaking sound when turning the car: 1. Friction at the contact point: The horn below the steering wheel may have friction at its contact points, causing a squeaking sound. This could be due to friction. Removing the steering wheel and adding some engine oil can resolve the issue. 2. Problem with the universal joint: The universal joint connecting the steering wheel and the steering gear may be problematic, corroded, or not functioning smoothly, leading to operational difficulties. After removal, clean and polish it, then apply some engine oil, or simply replace it with a new universal joint. During high-speed driving, especially on uneven roads, a 'clicking' sound or other periodic abnormal noises may occur when turning the steering wheel, accompanied by abnormal vibrations that can sometimes cause hand numbness. In such cases, a detailed inspection of the vehicle is necessary to check the dynamic balance of the steering transmission device, whether the drive shaft and its spline shaft and spline sleeve are worn, and whether all parts are properly tightened.
