What Causes the Clunking Noise in the Chassis When Accelerating or Decelerating?
1 Answers
When accelerating or decelerating, the clunking noise in the chassis can be caused by the following reasons: Suspension System: The noise heard when starting the vehicle is usually due to a fault in the suspension system, which may be caused by loose or damaged engine mounts. Steering and Suspension Systems: The noise heard when turning the vehicle may be due to faults in the steering and suspension systems, as the vehicle tilts during turning, causing the suspension system to deform and participate in the movement. Braking System Components: The noise heard when driving on good road conditions may be due to faults in the braking system components, such as loose or worn parts, out-of-round brake drums, or uneven brake discs. Bearing System: It could also be an issue with the bearings that connect moving and stationary parts of the vehicle. If it's a bearing problem, the driver can identify it by applying slight brakes. If the noise remains unchanged when braking at a constant speed, then the issue is with the bearings.
