Why Does the Car Steering Wheel Squeak When Turning?

[VonAngela]

The reasons for abnormal noises when turning the car steering wheel include: lack of lubrication in the steering column, low power steering fluid, universal joint failure, aging of the rubber bushings in the chassis suspension stabilizer bar links, and failure of the plane bearing. Below is an introduction to the causes of steering wheel noises: 1. Issues with the clock spring: If the sound comes from inside the steering wheel, it might be a problem with the clock spring. Remove the steering wheel and apply some grease to the clock spring to see if the noise persists. If it still makes noise, replace the clock spring as it may already be damaged. 2. Strut mount bearing: Another possibility is noise from the strut mount bearing. To determine if this is the issue, simply open the hood and listen to see if the sound is coming from the top of the strut mount. This will confirm if the noise is from the strut mount bearing. If the strut mount bearing is making noise, you can apply some grease to it. If the noise continues after applying grease, the only solution is to replace it.
