What causes a loud noise when driving over a pothole without slowing down?

Reasons for abnormal noise when driving over potholes: First, check the shock absorber for faults by inspecting whether it is leaking oil. Below is an introduction to abnormal noises in cars: Car half-shaft issues: Due to long-term torsional fatigue and impact forces, the car's half-shaft is prone to bending, twisting, breaking, or wear and skew of the spline teeth. This can cause the car to shake rhythmically when accelerating within a certain speed range, accompanied by noise. The shaking disappears or lessens when the accelerator is released. Engine belt looseness: A slipping belt will produce abnormal noise. Once the belt slips, it leads to friction and high temperatures, causing the belt to stretch further and slip more severely, creating a vicious cycle. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the belt at a repair shop.
