What Causes the Steering Wheel Noise in a Camry?
1 Answers
Toyota Camry steering wheel and steering noise causes: 1. Unlubricated steering column with high friction; 2. Insufficient power steering fluid; 3. Faulty universal joint; 4. Aging and hardened rubber bushings on the chassis suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Failed wheel bearing. Additional information: From the steering gear principle perspective, the Toyota Camry achieves vacuum assistance, but this only reduces the driver's control effort without changing the actual force on the steering gear itself. Therefore, the effective way to reduce steering gear wear is to minimize its working load. Car enthusiasts should develop the habit of turning the steering wheel only after the wheels start moving, which reduces tire-ground friction resistance, prevents excessive load on the steering gear and over-wear of the steering linkage system, thereby avoiding noise when turning the wheel.
