The wheel hub and steering knuckle are connected to the vehicle’s frame by means of the control arms, with bushings located at the joints between the upper and lower arms. These bushings are meant to absorb shocks and vibrations, but when these impacts build up over time, the parts will ...
I have been haunted by this rattling noise issue right after vehicle delivery, and used to think it's coming from the steering wheel. It happens when I drive on bumpy road with relatively low speed, and is more obvious when weather is hot. After several service visits they were not able...
From your description, it sounds more like the noise is coming from one of your steering components. There are a series linkages, arms and joints that connect the mechanism your steering wheel turns to your wheels. As your vehicle gets old those joints can start to wear down and dry out c...
The .03" gap in the steering column located inside the vehicle under the steering wheel. I used regular oil like that used to lubricate bike chains. Removed the front left wheel to get to the other two areas. First, the large knuckle located about 6 inches from where the steering column...

It is usually difficult to clearly separate the combustion noise from the mechanical noise because the latter is affected by the gas loading coming from the in-cylinder pressure. In order to separate these noises, the engine noise can be measured at different levels of combustion excitation, and...
Noise from FRONT motor area in reverse When I'm in reverse, especially if the steering wheel isn't straight, I get a slight noise from the front area. The best way to describe it is to think of it as the (clothes) washer: when that drum starts spinning full of clothes and water/so...

The gearbox forms a path for circulating oil of an oil tank pumped from an oil pump to boost operation force of a steering wheel through torsion of the torsion bar built-in the input shaft connected to the lower part of a steering column. The compression ring presses the spool by oil ...
I have a dark and deep sinister concern - cracked frame. With all else eliminated I truly believe it is possible there's a crack in the headstock area. As the presumably correct forks and and bearings take the weight the leverage of the steering angle pulls open the crack. With the weigh...
