Why is there abnormal noise from the steering wheel?

[Robert]

Here are the reasons for abnormal noise from the steering wheel: 1. Friction sound between the steering column and floor mat: If the abnormal noise comes from below the steering wheel when turning it, check the steering column and car floor mat. An oversized aftermarket floor mat may directly contact the steering column, causing friction during rotation. Lack of lubrication will produce friction noise, which can be solved by applying lubricant. 2. Clock spring failure: If the noise comes from inside the steering wheel, it's mostly caused by interference from the clock spring inside. Remove the steering wheel clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it continues, replace the clock spring as it may be damaged.
