What Causes the Steering Wheel Friction Noise in Volvo XC60?
1 Answers
Volvo XC60 steering wheel noise is generally caused by the friction between the horn wire transmission spring steel plate and the steering wheel, usually producing a rustling metal friction sound from inside the car. In most cases, steering wheel noise during rotation is normal, such as friction between plastic components or noise when the steering wheel is turned to the limit. The reasons for steering wheel friction noise in Volvo XC60 are as follows: 1. Lack of lubricant at the friction point: Insufficient lubricant between the spring steel plate and the steering wheel causes noise. 2. Excessive or insufficient front wheel toe-in: Improper front wheel toe-in leads to tire scrubbing noise during steering due to non-parallel front wheel movement. 3. Excessive wear of the half-shaft CV joint: Noise caused by excessive wear of the vehicle's half-shaft CV joint, which should be replaced promptly.
