What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel in a Prado?

[DelAliyah]

Prado steering wheel squeaking is caused by a faulty clock spring. Clock spring interference: If the abnormal noise comes from inside the steering wheel when turning it, this situation is mostly caused by the clock spring inside the steering wheel. At this time, the steering wheel can be removed, and some butter can be applied to the clock spring to see if the abnormal noise persists. Sound from the rebound clip: If the abnormal noise from the steering wheel occurs after turning on the turn signal, it is most likely the sound from the rebound clip of the turn signal auto-return mechanism. This is a normal phenomenon. Lack of lubrication in the steering column dust cover: Lack of lubrication in the steering column dust cover will cause a dry friction sound. Just apply some butter inside the dust cover, and the abnormal noise can be resolved.
