What is the reason for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel after replacing the shock absorber?
1 Answers
Reasons for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel after replacing the shock absorber are as follows: Aging of steering tie rod: Aging of the steering tie rod ball joint will cause looseness in the tie rod, leading to abnormal noise in the steering wheel. The steering tie rod ball joint needs to be replaced, but remember to perform a four-wheel alignment after replacement. Steering gear failure: If abnormal noise is heard when turning the steering wheel, and the steering feel is noticeably uneven, it may be due to excessive wear of the steering gear mating gears causing excessive clearance. Replacing the steering gear can resolve this issue. Aging of power steering belt: Improper tension or aging of the power steering belt. For mechanically hydraulically assisted steering wheels, if the drive belt tension is improper or the belt is aged, abnormal noise will occur. Adjusting or replacing the belt can solve the problem.
