What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make Abnormal Noises When Turning in an Audi?
1 Answers
Here are the specific reasons why the steering wheel of an Audi may make abnormal noises when turning: Faulty Clock Spring: If the noise comes from inside the steering wheel, it may be due to interference from the clock spring inside the steering wheel. Lack of Lubrication in the Shock Absorber's Thrust Bearing: When turning the steering wheel, if the abnormal noise comes from outside the car, it may be due to a lack of lubrication in the shock absorber's thrust bearing. Loose or Damaged Stabilizer Bar Bushing: If the noise is not from the shock absorber's thrust bearing, check whether the stabilizer bar bushing is loose or damaged. A loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushing will not only make noise when turning the steering wheel but also when driving on uneven roads. Dirty Power Steering Fluid: If the power steering fluid is too dirty, it can increase the pressure in the power steering system.
