Why Does the Steering Wheel Make Noise When Turning in Place?

[BriannaDella]

The cause of noise when turning the steering wheel in place should be determined based on the specific location from which the sound originates. There are several reasons why the steering wheel may produce noise when turning in place: 1. Lack of lubrication in the steering column dust cover. Solution: Apply grease to the steering column dust cover for lubrication. 2. Interference from the clock spring (spiral cable) of the airbag. Solution: Apply grease to the clock spring or replace it. 3. Lack of lubrication in the shock absorber's top bearing. Solution: Apply grease to the top bearing or replace it. 4. Damage or looseness of the stabilizer bar bushings. Solution: Add shims if loose, or replace if damaged.
