1 Answers
The reasons for the steering wheel making a clicking sound when turning are: 1. The steering column is not lubricated, causing high friction; 2. Lack of power steering fluid; 3. Failure of the universal joint; 4. Aging of the rubber bushings on the chassis suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Damage to the plane bearing; 6. Issues with the power steering system; 7. Poor driving habits, such as excessive braking; 8. Abnormal wear on the brake disc and brake pad surfaces. Precautions for using the steering wheel include: 1. Do not remove both hands from the steering wheel simultaneously; 2. The amplitude and speed of steering wheel rotation should match the turning angle of the car and the vehicle's speed; 3. Avoid turning the steering wheel when the car is stationary to prevent damage to the steering system and tire wear; 4. Keep the left and right hands at a reasonable distance apart on the steering wheel.
