How to Deal with the Feeling of Abnormal Noise in the Trunk?
2 Answers
Methods to handle the feeling of abnormal noise in the trunk are as follows: 1. The abnormal noise in the trunk may be caused by items not being properly placed or the trunk door not being closed properly. It is necessary to check whether there are loose or detached screws in the trunk. It is recommended not to place heavy objects in the car trunk and always ensure the trunk is properly closed before driving. 2. The squeaking noise caused by friction between the door rubber seal and the car body can be visually identified by smooth or chipped areas at the friction points. This issue can be resolved by adding a layer of felt tape at the friction points. 3. If the noise is produced by the door lock mechanism, applying lubricating oil can help determine if this is the source of the problem. 4. Minor car body deformation on bumpy roads may cause noise, which is generally not a significant concern. As long as the rubber seals have felt tape, the noise should no longer occur.
I've been driving for almost twenty years and have encountered trunk rattling noises several times, mostly caused by unstable items. Check if the toolbox or spare tire in the trunk is loose and secure them properly. If the noise persists after clearing the clutter, it might be due to rusted trunk door hinges or aged sealing strips – try spraying some lubricant. Don't overlook the chassis shock absorbers either; when those fail, the noise becomes much louder. Develop a habit of regular cleaning, keep fewer loose items, prioritize driving safety, and you'll save on repair costs too.
