Why does the Q5 steering wheel make abnormal noises?
1 Answers
Audi Q5, whether stationary or moving, as long as the steering wheel is turned, the sound comes from below the steering wheel. It is necessary to check the steering column dust cover. Once the steering column dust cover lacks lubrication, it will produce dry friction sound. The following are the reasons for abnormal steering wheel noise: 1. Aging of the steering tie rod ball joint will cause looseness in the tie rod, leading to abnormal noise in the steering wheel. The steering tie rod ball joint needs to be replaced, but remember to perform a four-wheel alignment after replacement. 2. Steering gear failure. If abnormal noise is heard when turning the steering wheel and the steering feel is obviously uneven, it may be due to excessive gap caused by wear of the steering gear mating gears. Replacing the steering gear can solve the problem. 3. Improper tightness or aging of the power steering belt. For mechanically hydraulically assisted steering wheels, if the drive belt is improperly tensioned or aged, abnormal noise will occur. Adjusting or replacing the belt can resolve the issue.
