What Causes the Clicking Sound from the Left Front Wheel of a Car?

[GarrettMarie]

The causes of the clicking sound from the left front wheel of a car are: 1. Damage to the suspension control arm; 2. Aging of the shock absorber buffer rubber. The solutions are: 1. Replace the suspension control arm; 2. Replace the shock absorber buffer rubber. If there are other abnormal sounds, it is necessary to go to a 4S shop for further inspection by maintenance personnel. Other situations that may cause the clicking sound from the left front wheel include: 1. If there is a rhythmic 'click-click-click' sound that speeds up with the vehicle's speed, it may be due to foreign objects on the tire. You can stop the car and check after parking; 2. If there is an intermittent 'clunk' or knocking sound when turning, going over bumps, it might be due to a damaged outer CV joint of the left front half-shaft, a broken shock absorber, or wear in the ball joint or bushings of the chassis suspension. It is advisable to visit a repair shop as soon as possible to eliminate potential safety hazards; 3. If a noticeable humming sound is heard while driving, which gets louder with increasing speed, it may indicate damage to the left front wheel hub bearing.
