1. Lack of Lubrication: The steering column or the components it incorporates might be lacking lubrication if squeaking happens when rotating the steering wheel. Applying proper grease/lubricant may resolve the issue.
2. Faulty/Worn CV Joints: Squeaking noises during steering can also arise from worn-out Constant Velocity (CV) joints that assist in transferring power from the transmission to the wheels.
3. Worn Suspension Parts: Wear in suspension components (ball joints, control arm bushings, sway bar/stabilizer bar bushings, etc.) may produce noises on bumpy roads or while turning the steering wheel.
4. Damaged Brake Components: Issues in brake assemblies like sticking brake pistons, excessive caliper movement, or brake pad corrosion can sometimes result in squeaking sounds when the steering wheel is turned.
5. Improperly Installed Accessories: Certain steering wheel controls or after-market accessories added to the steering wheel may not be correctly assembled, leading to noises.
6. Loose Nuts and Bolts: Loose fasteners between steering components can sometimes create squeaking noises during steering input.
7. Rubber Parts Degradation: In rare cases, aging or subpar rubber materials involved in suspension linkages or mounts can wear over time, potentially resulting in squeak
