What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make Noise When Reversing?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why the steering wheel makes noise when reversing: 1. Friction: The floor mats installed at the rear of the car are too large and come into direct contact with the steering column. As the steering column rotates, friction occurs, leading to noise. If the steering column lacks lubrication, it will produce friction sounds, and lubrication oil needs to be applied. 2. Lack of lubrication in bearings: When turning the steering wheel, if the noise seems to come from outside the car, it may be due to a lack of lubrication in the shock absorber's plane bearings. Open the hood to confirm if the noise originates from the top of the shock absorber. If the plane bearings lack lubrication, apply grease or replace the plane bearings.
