Why Does the Car Make Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel?

[DeRonan]

The reasons why the car makes noise when turning the steering wheel are: 1. Friction between plastic components The steering wheel is composed of various plastic parts. If the gap is too small when turning, it may cause abnormal noise. Running-in for a period of time can solve the problem. If the noise persists after running-in, try reinstalling the steering wheel; 2. Friction between the steering column and the floor mat Sometimes, the installed floor mat is too large and comes into direct contact with the steering column, causing friction when the steering column turns. Adjust or replace the floor mat to resolve the issue; 3. Fault in the clock spring inside the steering wheel Friends who have disassembled the steering wheel should pay special attention, as it may be due to a broken clock spring or a poorly connected clock spring plug. Replace the clock spring or secure the plug to fix the problem; 4. Aging or excessive play in the steering tie rod ball joint Replace the steering tie rod ball joint, but remember to perform a four-wheel alignment after replacement.
