What Could Be the Causes of Abnormal Noises When Steering?
1 Answers
Possible causes of abnormal noises during car steering include friction between plastic components, malfunctioning steering mechanisms, dirty power steering fluid, front suspension failure, broken airbag clock spring inside the steering wheel, and tire damage. Friction between plastic components: Plastic components rubbing against each other. The steering wheel is generally made of plastic parts, which can harden when temperatures drop, naturally leading to potential friction sounds. Malfunctioning steering mechanism: If the steering mechanism malfunctions, such as producing loud abnormal noises during steering, it may be due to excessive gear clearance in the steering assembly. Dirty power steering fluid: If the power steering fluid is too dirty, it increases the pressure in the power steering system, causing the power steering pump to emit a "buzzing" abnormal noise. Front suspension failure: When the plane bearing or top rubber of the front suspension fails, the shock absorber can produce abnormal noises during turns. Broken airbag clock spring inside the steering wheel: If the car's steering wheel airbag has been replaced and the airbag clock spring is not properly connected, it can also generate abnormal noises during turns. Tire damage: If the car tire is punctured by a nail or has stones stuck in it without timely removal, friction during turns can also produce abnormal noises.
