Is There Danger in Rear Wheel Abnormal Noise?
2 Answers
Rear wheel abnormal noise is dangerous, and you should promptly go to a repair shop for inspection and maintenance of the vehicle. The following introduces the causes of abnormal noise in the rear wheels of a car: 1. Suspension-related issues: The car's suspension includes links, springs, shock absorbers, and stabilizer bars. If any of these components are abnormal, such as loose bolts, it may cause abnormal noise due to shaking. 2. Problems with the braking system: For example, excessively thin brake pads, uneven wear between the brake disc and brake pads, or faults in the brake caliper, master cylinder, or wheel cylinder can all lead to abnormal noise in the braking system, mainly manifested as sharp and continuous sounds.
Hearing strange noises from the rear wheels makes me nervous. This is no minor issue – severe bearing wear can cause wheel lock-up or detachment, leading to loss of control and skidding at high speeds, potentially resulting in accidents. If it's a brake component issue, like loose calipers or increased friction noise between pads and rotors, braking efficiency decreases, especially dangerous during rain or downhill driving. With over a decade of driving experience, I've seen many similar cases where ignored noises led to roadside breakdowns requiring tow trucks. My advice: pull over immediately, turn off the engine, don't drive it, and preferably call a tow truck straight to the repair shop. Never skip routine maintenance – especially checking tires, bearings, and suspension before long trips, which prevents over 90% of risks. Safe driving is paramount – unusual noises are your car's warning signals. Don't wait for major disasters to regret inaction.
