STEERING 15 STEERING COMPLAINT AS MAY BE NARRATED BY CUSTOMER NOISE & VIBRA- TION • Humming noise while steering. • Squealing noise. • Clicking sound while steering. • Hissing noise. • Rattling noise. CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY Humming noise that increases with engine speed This is not a defect. The noise is due to pulsation of fluid when the pump is running which is normal – Hissing noise when turning right or left. This is not a defect. The noise is due to actuation of Flow Control Valve during steering operation which is normal. – Noise evident when wheels are held on full lock. This is not a defect. This noise is from the relief valve in the Pump. ! CAUTION Do not hold the wheels at full lock for more than 5 seconds Grating noise from pump. Cavitations caused by air bubbles in the fluid, due to low or insufficient oil in system. Check fluid level in reservoir. If low top up the oil. Cor- rect external leaks, if any. Determine by inspection, possibility of air suction through loose pipe fittings, hose clamping. Tighten or replace as necessary. Check Pump shaft seal for leakages, if any. Fill and bleed the system. Squealing noise from pump. Low belt tension or worn out belt necessary. Tighten the belt or replace if necessary. Abnormally loud noise from pump. Pump internals excessively worn out or damaged. Replace the pump Rattling or chatter- ing noise. Loose pump pulley. Tighten or replace the pulley. If shaft is found dam- aged then replace the Pump. Loose or worn steering col- umns/intermediate joints. Tighten or replace the parts as necessary. Loose inner or outer ball joints necessary. Tighten to replace the parts as necessary Rack guide adjustments im- proper or disturbed gear. Adjust to specification if not corrected replace. Clicking noise heard during a turn or when changing direction. Some components are loose and shifting under load. Determine by inspection, tighten or replace if neces- sary. Vibrating Noise. Unclamped /Rubbing/ dam- aged/ Deformed pipe lines. Determine by inspection and replace or correct if necessary.
