What Causes the Steering Wheel Noise in Nissan Qashqai?
1 Answers
The reasons for steering wheel noise in Nissan Qashqai are as follows: 1. Sound from the turn signal reset: If the turn signal is activated while turning, the noise may come from the rebound clip of the automatic reset mechanism of the turn signal. 2. Noise from the steering column dust cover: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it may be due to the steering column dust cover. Lack of lubrication in the dust cover can cause friction noise. 3. Noise from inside the steering wheel: If the noise originates from inside the steering wheel, it is likely caused by the clock spring (airbag spiral cable) inside the steering wheel. Remove the steering wheel and apply some grease to the clock spring. 4. Noise from the shock absorber top bearing: If the noise comes from outside the vehicle, it may be due to insufficient lubrication in the shock absorber top bearing. Open the hood to check if the noise is coming from the shock absorber top mount. 5. Noise from the stabilizer bar: Check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noise not only when turning but also when driving on uneven roads.
