Why the Steering Makes a Disturbing Noise

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we can see why there is a disturbing noise when turning the steering wheel during a turn or manoeuvre: the cause may be a loose bolt, as that area is particularly subject to mechanical stress. The noise can be metallic and dry, with unusual vibrations in the steering wheel, amplifying the vibrations transmitted from the road. You may also notice a lack of precision in the steering response, especially in corners. Check the bolts of the steering column, the steering joint, and the steering rack, specifically the bolts securing them to the chassis or control arms.
