What Causes the Abnormal Noise from the Left Front Wheel of a Car?
1 Answers
Possible causes of abnormal noise from the left front wheel of a car include increased suspension play and severe brake pad wear, as detailed below: Increased Suspension Play: If there is abnormal noise from the left front wheel, it may be due to increased suspension play or a malfunctioning shock absorber. The suspension system includes rubber bushings, which can deteriorate over time. If these rubber components age, it can lead to increased suspension play, resulting in abnormal noises. It is advisable to slow down when passing over speed bumps or rough roads to minimize suspension damage. Severe Brake Pad Wear: Normal brake pads are approximately 10mm thick. When the brake pads wear down to below 6mm, the vehicle may exhibit abnormal tire noise and reduced braking efficiency. In such cases, the brake pads should be replaced.
