Power steering fluid sprays out from the reservoir because the filter screen in the reservoir is clogged, resulting in poor circulation. Here is some information about automotive power steering fluid: 1. Introduction: Automotive power steering fluid is a special liquid used in the power steering pump of a vehicle's power steering system. 2. Precautions: (1) Power steering fluid contains carcinogenic substances. If it comes into contact with the skin, it should be washed off promptly. (2) Power steering fluid is corrosive and may cause paint to lose its luster and rubber components to age. If contaminated, it should be cleaned immediately. (3) For vehicles equipped with hydraulic power steering systems, avoid turning the steering wheel to its extreme limit during use, as prolonged operation in this condition can burn out the power steering pump.

What causes rhythmic noise from the rear wheels of an Audi Q7 at low speeds?

This noise frequency changes with vehicle speed - faster at higher speeds and slower at lower speeds.

Additionally, harder brake pad materials can also cause noise. Bearing wear: Worn or loose wheel bearings in the rear wheels can also produce abnormal noises.
