What Causes Chassis Noise While Driving?

[McElle]

Causes of chassis noise while driving: 1. If there is noise when turning the steering wheel and it is not the sound of tire friction with the ground, it is likely caused by a damaged outer CV joint. Replacing the outer CV joint can eliminate the noise; 2. Noise from the rear wheel area is usually emitted from the connection between the rear axle and the shock absorber. Check if the screws at the connection between the rear axle and the shock absorber are loose and tighten them if necessary; 3. If the chassis makes a creaking sound while driving, it is likely coming from the connection between the MacPherson strut and the shock absorber. You can park the car in a relatively quiet place, turn off the engine, press down on the four shock absorbers with both hands, and move the body up and down to make the car sway. During this process, you can hear which part is making the noise.
