Description of Specific St eer
ing System Noise Types
Bel
t Squeal
Belt squea
l is a high frequency air-born
e noise generated by slippage of the ribbe d Vee belt on the power steering pump
pulley. Squeal increases with system loading and at the end of lock.
Clonk

Cl
onk is a structure-borne nois
e heard as a loose-sounding rattle or vibration coming from the steering column. Clonk can
be identified by driving and turning over cobblestones, rough roads, or high frequency bumps such as 25-50 mm tall tar
strips. Clonk requires a tie-rod load impact.
Column Knoc
k
Col
umn knock is a loose-sounding rattle or
vibration generated by the steering column shaft contacting other portions of the
column assembly. The noise is both audible and tactile. Column knock is generate d by driving over cobblestones or rough
pavement. It is not necessary to turn the steering wheel to create this noise.
Column Ra
ttle
Co
lumn rattle is a metallic sounding no
ise created when applying a highly impuls ive force to the steering wheel. Column
rattle is often used to combine the more general group of column noises includin g clonk and column knock. Column rattle
noises can be caused by clonk, knock, l oose column components, bonus parts etc. A series of parked, straight-line driving,
and cornering test should be carried out to isolate the source/sources.
Gr
inding/Scrape
Gr

inding is a low frequency noise in the column when the st
eering wheel is turned. Is generally caused by interference
between moving components such as the st eering wheel to steering column shroud.
Gr
unt (Squawk)
Grunt

is a "honking" sound elicited when coming off one of
the steering stops. Grunt is generally excited during parking
manoeuvres with a low to me dium speed steering input.


Squea
k

Hiss (Swish)
Hiss or Val
ve Hiss is a high-frequency so
und coming from the steering gear when the system is loaded. It is a rushing or
"swish" noise that doesn't change frequency with RPM. Hiss is the general noise generated by the flow of hydraulic fluid
through restrictions in the steer ing system. Restrictions include the rotary stee ring valve, power steering tubes, connectors,
tuning orifices, etc. Hiss can be air- borne and structure-borne, but the structure-borne path through the steering
intermediate shaft is usually dominant.
Moan (Groan)
Moan is the general structu r
e-borne noise of the steering system. Moan is primarily transmitted to the driver via the body
structure through the pump mount, engine mounts, power steering lines and power steering brackets. On some vehicles,
moan is a load humming noise, often present when the wheel is turned and the system is loaded. It may change frequency
with engine RPM and if the sy stem is loaded or unloaded.
Rack Knock (R
ack Slap)
CAU
T
ION: DO NOT attempt to adjust the stee
ring gear yoke. Failure to follow this instruction will result in the steering
gear warranty to become invalid.
Rack Knock is a rattle sound an d steering wheel vibration caused by separation of the steering gear and pinion while driving
over bumps. It is a structure-borne noise transmitted throug h the intermediate shaft and column. Rack knock can also be
heard as a "thump" or impact noise that occurs with the vehicle stationary when the steering wheel is released from a
loaded position and allowed to return to rest . Noise occurs with the engine on or off.
Rattles
Ra
ttles are noises caused by knocking or hitting with components in the steering system. Steering rattles can occur in the
engine compartment, the suspension, or the passenger compartment . Rattles can be caused by loose parts, movable and
flexible parts, and improper clearances.
Squea k
s/Scrapes
Squeaks/Scrapes are noises due
to fri
ction or component rubbi
ng anywhere in the steering system. Squeaks/Scrapes have
appeared in steering linkages and jo ints, in column components and in co lumn and steering wheel trim parts.
Weep
We
ep is an air-borne noise, occasionally
generated when turning the steering across lock at a constant rate. When present
on a vehicle the noise, once initiated can often be maintained across a large proportion of the available steering movement.
Whistle
Wh
istle is similar to hiss but is louder and of a higher frequency. It is also more
of a pure tone noise than hiss. Whistle is
air-borne and is generated by a high flow rate of hydraulic fluid through a small restriction.
Zip

Zip n
o
ise is the air-borne noise
generated by power steerin g pump cavitation when power steering fluid does not flow freely
through the suction hose from the rese rvoir to the pump. Zip primarily occurs during cold weather at start-up.
Steering System Vibrations and Harshne
ss
Buzz
Buzz is a tactile rotary vi

bration felt in
the steering wheel for slow steering inputs. Buzz can also be called a grinding feel
and it is closely related to grunt and is caused by high system gain with low damping. Buzz is generally excited during
parking manoeuvres with low to medium speed steering input.

noise, but this will not cause damage. The time allowances
mentioned in the above procedures are to reduce the possibility
of a customer collecting a vehicle while still subject to
excessive pump noise.

Parts List
The power steering system is a rack and pinion design, with an engine-dri ve n pump providing the steering assistance. The
system features variable steering assistance with vehicle spee d, a variable ratio steering rack, and a hydraulic control valve
which has a torsion bar arrangement giving improved center feel to the steering.
Absolute cleanliness must be observed wh en replenishing the fluid or dismantling any part of the system. If any major
component is renewed a new fluid rese rvoir must be fitted. New fluid from a sealed container must be used.
