Why is there a strange noise when turning the steering wheel of a Corolla?

[SanJade]

Corolla steering wheel noise may be due to a faulty steering gear rubber sleeve or aging steering tie rod ball joint. It is necessary to go to a repair shop or 4S store to determine the source of the noise before repairs can be made. The following is a detailed introduction to the sources of steering wheel noise: Noise from inside the steering wheel: If the noise comes from inside the steering wheel, the problem is most likely caused by the steering wheel's clock spring. Remove the steering wheel clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it still makes noise, replace the clock spring as it may be damaged. Be gentle when removing the steering wheel, or disconnect the airbag fuse to prevent the airbag from deploying. Aging steering tie rod ball joint: If the steering tie rod ball joint is aging, it can cause the car's steering wheel to shake and produce noise. In this case, the steering tie rod ball joint is usually replaced, and a four-wheel alignment is performed after replacement.
