What to Do When There's a Rustling Sound While Turning the Steering Wheel?
1 Answers
When there's a rustling sound while turning the steering wheel, it's important to promptly inspect the source of the sound for repairs. Here are the details: 1. Sound from the turn signal reset: If the sound occurs while turning the steering wheel with the turn signal on, it might be from the reset mechanism's spring clip, which is normal. 2. Noise from the steering column dust cover: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it could be due to the steering column dust cover. Lack of lubrication in the dust cover can cause friction sounds. Applying an appropriate amount of grease under the dust cover can resolve this. 3. Noise from inside the steering wheel: If the sound originates from within the steering wheel, it's likely caused by the airbag clock spring. In this case, the steering wheel airbag clock spring should be removed and greased. If the noise persists, the airbag clock spring may need to be replaced.
