What are possible reasons for abnormal sound of a steering gear?

07-31,2024

Common reasons for abnormal sound of a steering gear:

1. Insufficient hydraulic oil: Insufficient oil in the hydraulic steering system may result in insufficient steering assistance and lead to abnormal noise.

2. Hydraulic oil contamination: Contaminated hydraulic oil may cause increased friction and abnormal noise in the steering system.

3. Wear of steering gear: Severe wear of internal components of the steering gear (such as gear and bearing) can cause abnormal noise during steering.

4. Improper installation of the steering gear: Improper installation of the steering gear may cause abnormal noise during operation.

5. Wear of steering linkage or ball joint: A worn linkage or ball joint of the steering system may result in looseness and produce abnormal noise.

6. Steering column issues: Problems of gear or bearing inside the steering column may also cause abnormal noise.

7. Suspension system issues: Damage to parts of the suspension system (such as shock absorber and spring) may cause additional pressure on the steering gear, leading to abnormal noise.

8. Tire or wheel issues: Uneven tire wear or loose wheels may indirectly cause abnormal noise of the steering gear.

9. Impact of foreign matters: Foreign matters (such as stones) stuck on a component of the steering system may also lead to noise.
