What Causes the Abnormal Noise from the Left Front Wheel When Turning Left?
2 Answers
Left front wheel abnormal noise when turning left may be caused by increased suspension play in the left front wheel, or it could be due to a faulty shock absorber in the left front wheel. Other scenarios that can cause a clunking noise from the car's left front wheel are as follows: Rhythmic noise: If there is a rhythmic "click-click-click" noise that speeds up with the vehicle's speed, it may be due to foreign objects on the tire. You can stop and check the tire after parking. Noise when turning or going over bumps: If there is intermittent clunking or knocking sounds when turning, going over bumps, it could indicate a problem with the left front axle's outer CV joint, a damaged shock absorber, or worn ball joints and bushings in the chassis suspension. It is advisable to visit a repair shop as soon as possible to eliminate potential safety hazards. Noise heard while driving: If you hear a noticeable humming noise while driving, which gets louder as the speed increases, it may be due to a damaged left front wheel hub bearing.
A squeaking noise from the left front wheel during left turns is quite common. I've encountered this issue before while driving - it's likely caused by problems with suspension components, such as worn-out ball joints or shock absorbers that creak under the increased stress during turns. Uneven tire wear or tire bubbles can also produce such noises, especially when the outer wheel bears more load. Other potential causes include loose steering linkage or brake system issues. My recommendation is to first check tire pressure and inspect for uneven wear. If no obvious issues are found, visit a professional repair shop immediately for a thorough chassis inspection to prevent steering instability caused by component failure - safety comes first. Avoid DIY fixes, as specialized tools are required for proper diagnosis. Regular suspension system maintenance can help prevent such problems.
