What causes abnormal noises in the front of a car?
2 Answers
The reasons for abnormal noises in the front of a car are as follows: 1. Reason one: Insufficient body stiffness, which causes the vehicle to deform during driving; friction or vibration between the door and the frame; or friction between steel plates due to welding failure in certain areas. Some vehicles have relatively high wind noise, which may be related to the car's shape to some extent; if the car's body components are not properly secured, they may cause abnormal noises, which can be resolved by tightening the screws. 2. Reason two: Abnormal car noises are a type of malfunction that cannot be ignored in many situations, especially on poor roads. Many car noises are caused by tires. Place the vehicle on a flat surface and check the tire tread. If the middle part of the tread wears out quickly, it is usually due to excessive tire pressure, which increases the protrusion area of the middle part.
As someone who has driven for half a lifetime, I often encounter strange noises coming from the front of the car. The most common are squeaking or clunking sounds when turning, which are mostly caused by aging suspension bushings or worn shock absorbers. The noise becomes more noticeable on bumpy roads—I once saw a friend's car making noise due to loose screws, and later inspection revealed a slight crack in the suspension arm. Scraping sounds during braking are also not uncommon; that's a sign of worn brake pads. It's best to regularly check the car's condition and pay attention to the source and frequency of the sounds: if there's a humming noise during acceleration, the belt might be loose; if it's quiet when stationary but noisy while driving, the braking system might be the culprit. Don't ignore small issues—find a knowledgeable mechanic early to avoid costly major repairs later. Safe driving is no trivial matter.
