What Causes the Steering Wheel of the Lingdong to Make Abnormal Noises?

[Janelle]

Here are the specific reasons why the steering wheel of the Lingdong makes abnormal noises: 1. The turn signal returning makes noise: When turning on the turn signal while steering, it may be caused by the rebound clip of the turn signal auto-return mechanism, which is a normal situation. 2. The dust cover of the steering column makes noise: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it may be caused by the dust cover of the steering column. Due to lack of lubrication on the dust cover, friction noise occurs. Applying some butter inside the dust cover can solve the issue. 3. Noise coming from inside the steering wheel: This could be caused by the airbag clock spring inside the steering wheel. Removing the steering wheel and applying butter to the airbag clock spring can fix it. Note: When removing the steering wheel, disconnect the airbag fuse to prevent the airbag from deploying. 4. The stabilizer bar makes noise: This could be due to loosening or damage of the stabilizer bar bushings. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings not only make noise when turning the steering wheel but also when driving on uneven roads. Adding shims can fix loose stabilizer bar bushings.
