What Causes the Steering Wheel to Squeak?

[LucyLynn]

There are several reasons why the steering wheel may squeak: 1. Damage to the thrust bearing: The front wheel shock absorbers also rotate along with the wheels when the car turns. After opening the engine hood, you can see the top mounts that secure the two front shock absorbers, inside which are the thrust bearings. If the thrust bearings lack lubrication or are damaged, abnormal noises will occur when turning the steering wheel. On the top mounts of the front shock absorbers, there is usually a dust cover that should always be kept in place and not lost. 2. Damage to the suspension system: When parking and turning off the engine, try to keep the steering wheel straight to protect the suspension system. Avoid forcing the car onto curbs, as this can harm the suspension. When encountering speed bumps or rough roads, reduce speed before passing. When going over speed bumps, try to have both wheels pass over the bump simultaneously.
