Why Does a Tesla Make a Rattling Noise Under the Car When Turning the Steering Wheel?
1 Answers
Tesla makes a rattling noise under the car when turning the steering wheel for the following specific reasons: 1. The abnormal noise caused by a damaged turn signal switch return spring: This is a sound emitted from inside the car. If you hear this noise after operating the turn signal switch and then turning the steering wheel, it is the sound of the return spring in the turn signal auto-return mechanism, which is normal. 2. The noise from the steering column dust cover: Whether stationary or moving, if you hear a noise from below the steering wheel when turning it, you should check the steering column dust cover. A lack of lubrication in the steering column dust cover can cause dry friction noise. Applying some grease inside the dust cover will eliminate this noise.
