1 Answers
Solutions for a squeaking car steering wheel: 1. Aging of the tie rod end, replace the tie rod end and perform a four-wheel alignment after replacement; 2. Noise coming from inside the steering wheel, remove the steering wheel airbag clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it still squeaks, replace the airbag clock spring as it may be damaged. Be gentle when removing the steering wheel, or disconnect the airbag fuse to prevent the airbag from deploying; 3. Noise from the stabilizer bar, looseness of the stabilizer bar bushings can be resolved by adding shims. If damaged, replacement is necessary; 4. Noise from the shock absorber top mount bearing, apply grease to the top mount bearing. If the noise continues after greasing, replacement is the only option.
