How to solve the abnormal noise from the front wheels of the Roewe RX5 on bumpy roads?
2 Answers
If the Roewe RX5 has abnormal noise from the left front wheel, it may be caused by increased play in the left front wheel suspension or a malfunction of the left front wheel shock absorber. The suspension system of a car includes some rubber bushings, which can age over time with prolonged use. If the rubber bushings age, it can lead to increased play in the suspension, resulting in abnormal noise when driving on bumpy roads. The Roewe RX5 is a compact SUV under SAIC Motor, featuring a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4556mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1719mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm.
When I first drove the Roewe RX5, I also encountered a rattling noise from the front wheels on bumpy roads, which was particularly annoying. At the time, I thought it was a minor issue and checked it myself. It turned out that there might be a problem with the suspension system. First, I checked the stabilizer links—if they were loose, they could easily rattle, and tightening them with a wrench would solve the issue. If the shock absorbers were worn out, they would make a clunking noise while driving, and they’d need to be replaced. Worn ball joints could also squeak, requiring lubrication or replacement. I borrowed tools from a friend and spent a weekend fixing it myself. After driving on bumpy roads, remember to regularly inspect these components—check for rust or loose screws about every six months to save on repair costs. If the noise becomes too frequent and isn’t addressed, the suspension could get damaged over time, affecting braking safety. After this repair, my car runs much quieter on the highway, making the drive more reassuring.
