Why Does the Steering Wheel Make Noise When Turning?
1 Answers
Steering wheel noise during turning is related to bearings, the engine, and interfering components. Bearing factors: As the core component bearing the vehicle's weight and providing rotational capability to the tires, bearings may become damaged under daily stress, affecting driving performance. Engine factors: Technical conditions of certain engine mechanisms may have changed due to excessive part wear, improper assembly or adjustment; or reduced lubrication between components leading to dry friction sounds. Interfering component factors: Interference with adjacent components causing plastic deformation, or insufficient grease between friction surfaces in the steering system resulting in dry or semi-dry friction that produces abnormal noises. Solutions: Noise during initial turning is likely caused by failed shock absorber pressure bearings - replacement is needed. This issue also relates to routine maintenance. Regular inspections for part wear should be conducted, with lubrication added to bearing components to reduce friction.
