A noisy steering gear system is often caused by low or contaminated power steering fluid, worn-out bearings, loose belts, or damaged rack and pinion components. Air in the power steering system, failing pump, or worn tie rods can also lead to whining, grinding, or clunking noises. Regular maintenance and timely repairs help prevent serious steering issues.
