A hissing noise from the steering of your Suzuki Bolan could indicate several issues, primarily related to the power steering system:

Low Power Steering Fluid: If the power steering fluid is low, air may enter the system, causing a hissing noise when the steering wheel is turned.

Leaking Power Steering Hoses: A common cause of a hissing noise is a leak in the power steering hoses, which may allow fluid to escape and air to enter, producing a hissing sound.

Faulty Power Steering Pump: A failing power steering pump may also produce a hissing o r whining noise due to insufficient fluid pressure.

Worn Seals o r Components in the Steering Rack: Worn seals o r components within the steering rack can cause air to enter the system, leading to a hissing sound when turning the steering wheel.

Solution:

Check the power steering fluid level and top it up if necessary.

Inspect the power steering hoses for leaks and replace any damaged hoses.

Have the power steering pump and steering rack inspected for wear o r malfunction.

If necessary, replace worn seals o r components to restore normal function.
