Why Does the Car Steering Wheel Make Noise?
1 Answers
Car steering wheel noise can be caused by: 1. Lack of lubrication in the steering column, resulting in high friction; 2. Insufficient power steering fluid; 3. Issues with the universal joint; 4. Aging and hardening of the rubber bushings in the suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Damage to the thrust bearing. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft to control the vehicle. The working principle of the steering wheel is: the steering mechanism converts circular motion into linear motion through a rack and pinion system, pushing the wheels to rotate via the steering linkage, thereby achieving the car's steering function. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke, dual-spoke, triple-spoke, and four-spoke designs.
