What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel While Stationary?
1 Answers
It is caused by excessive resistance. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Reason for resistance: When the car is turning, if the steering resistance is too high and exceeds the maximum pressure of the steering system, the steering pump will unload and idle to protect the steering pump and steering gear. At this time, you can usually hear the "squeaking" sound of unloading. 2. Specific phenomena: This phenomenon is more obvious when the steering oil is dirty, the steering filter is clogged, or there is air in the steering hydraulic system. The resistance encountered by the car is greatest during low-speed turning and stationary turning, and the pressure on the steering pump is also at its maximum at this time. 3. Is it normal: If the unloading pressure of the steering system is exceeded, the steering pump will operate in an unloading state, and the squeaking sound at this time is normal.
