steering wheel

A steering wheel (also called a driving wheel (UK), a hand wheel, or simply wheel) is a type of steering control in vehicles.
Steering wheels are used in most modern land vehicles, including all mass-production automobiles, buses, light and heavy trucks, as well as tractors. The steering wheel is the part of the steering system that is manipulated by the driver; the rest of the steering system responds to such driver inputs. This can be through direct mechanical contact as in recirculating ball or rack and pinion steering gears, without or with the assistance of hydraulic power steering, HPS, or as in some modern production cars with the assistance of computer-controlled motors, known as electric power steering.

    When driving over bumps in the road, I feel a sudden impact from the wheels to the steering wheel.

    I have a MG EHS 2022 with 76,000km on it and lately when I drive over bumps in the road I feel a sudden thud from the wheels to the steering wheel. It does it sometimes, not all the time. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

    MG4 Ticking/Rattling Noise Coming From Behind The Steering Wheel

    Hello, my car is an MG4 Luxury with 21,000 km on it. At 20,000 km, a ticking noise started coming from behind the steering wheel. The noise appears at around 15 km/h and becomes inaudible at 60 km/h. It is definitely not a trim noise; it's a mechanical sound, but I haven't been able to figure...
