Why Does the Steering Wheel Make Noise When Fully Turned While Driving?

[LaJuliana]

Reasons for noise when fully turning the steering wheel while driving: friction sounds, tire scrubbing noise, excessive wear of the half-shaft CV joint. Detailed explanations below: Noise when turning the steering wheel while parked: This is likely the sound of the horn wire transmission spring steel plate rubbing against the steering wheel. The noise usually comes from inside the car and is a metallic rustling sound. The solution is to apply some lubricant at the contact point between the spring steel plate and the steering wheel. Noise when turning the steering wheel while driving: The noise usually comes from the front suspension outside the vehicle. If it's a sharp sound, it's probably due to excessive or insufficient front wheel toe-in, causing tire scrubbing noise when the front wheels don't turn parallel during steering. If it's a dull sound, then it's likely caused by excessive wear of the vehicle's half-shaft CV joint.
