Car wheels produce abnormal noises for the following reasons: Swing Arm Ball Joint: If the lower swing arm ball joint is loose with excessive clearance, abnormal noises will occur when the car bumps. Aging Plastic Components: If the stabilizer bar bushings are loose with excessive clearance, abnormal noises will also be produced. Damaged Shock Absorber: A damaged shock absorber can also cause abnormal noises when the car passes over uneven roads. Although shock absorbers have a relatively long service life, they are still a vulnerable part of the car. If the driving environment is poor or the car is frequently driven aggressively, damage or oil leakage is inevitable. If the buffer rubber has aged, replacing the rubber is sufficient. If the shock absorber is damaged or leaking, the shock absorber needs to be replaced.

What are the symptoms of a faulty alternator tensioner pulley?

Generator tensioner pulley failure manifests as sudden increase in engine noise during rapid acceleration (especially around 1500 RPM), engine timing chain skipping teeth, ignition and valve timing disorders, engine vibration, and difficulty starting (severe cases may prevent starting altogether). When these symptoms occur, the tensioner pulley should be inspected for damage. The tensioner pulley is a wearable automotive component - prolonged belt usage can cause stretching, though some tensioners automatically adjust belt tension. Additionally, proper tensioner pulley function ensures smoother vehicle operation, reduced noise, and effective prevention of belt slippage.
