Why Does the Audi Steering Wheel Make Squeaking and Friction Noises?
1 Answers
Friction between plastic components. Especially in new cars, the steering wheel is composed of various plastic parts. If the gaps between these parts are too small during rotation, friction will inevitably occur, which usually diminishes after a break-in period. If the noise persists after break-in, try reassembling the steering wheel. Below is an introduction to the steering wheel: Function: The steering wheel is typically connected to the steering shaft via splines, converting the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Other: Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the amount of hand force required from the driver when turning.
