What Causes the Steering Wheel Noise in Hyundai Elantra?

[ChaseLynn]

The steering wheel noise in Hyundai Elantra during turning may be caused by excessive clearance in the steering gear rack and pinion, or it could be due to excessive play in the universal drive assembly. A specific diagnosis requires listening to the sound to determine the exact cause. For future driving, please pay attention to the following points: 1. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stationary: Try to steer only after the vehicle starts moving. 2. Return the steering wheel to the center position promptly: When the vehicle is parked, the steering wheel should be returned to the center position to prevent unnecessary load on the suspension system and tires. 3. Avoid turning the steering wheel to its extreme limit: When making a U-turn, try to avoid turning the steering wheel all the way to the end-stop position. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for a thorough inspection to identify the exact cause of the issue and resolve it promptly.
