What Causes Front Wheel Abnormal Noise?
2 Answers
Front wheel abnormal noise can be caused by: 1. Rhythmic sharp noise: This may be friction sound generated by too small a gap between the brake pads and the brake disc; 2. Continuous sharp noise: Possibly due to bearing damage; 3. Continuous dull noise: There may be an issue with the drive shaft. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help to mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving, maintaining good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, and improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability. The important role tires play in vehicles is increasingly being recognized by people.
After driving for so many years, I've found that the causes of front wheel noise mainly fall into several categories: brake system issues are the most common - if the brake pads are excessively worn or improperly installed, they'll produce a sharp squealing sound when braking; secondly, tire problems like uneven tire pressure, trapped stones, or severe wear can cause constant rattling while rolling; worn wheel hub bearings can lead to a buzzing vibration noise, especially noticeable during high-speed turns; suspension components such as leaking shock absorbers or loose control arms will produce thumping sounds when going over speed bumps or rough roads; and steering system components like aging tie rod ends can create clicking noises during turns. These aren't just noise nuisances - they affect driving stability too. Safety first - I recommend getting any abnormal noises checked at a repair shop with professional tools immediately, don't wait until the problem worsens.
