What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make Strange Noises When Driving on Rough Roads?
1 Answers
The causes of strange noises coming from under the steering wheel when driving on rough roads are as follows: 1. Lack of lubrication in the steering column dust cover: A dry friction sound occurs when the steering column dust cover lacks lubrication. Simply applying some grease inside the dust cover can eliminate the noise. 2. Noise from the steering column universal joint: The front end of the steering column is equipped with a universal joint, which can produce noise if it lacks lubrication. Lubricating the universal joint is necessary. 3. Friction between the steering column and the floor mat: If the edge of the floor mat comes into contact with the steering column, friction when turning the wheel can cause noise. Check whether the floor mat is in contact with the steering column, and if so, adjusting the position of the floor mat promptly can resolve the issue.
