What causes the clunking noise when the Geely Emgrand starts?
2 Answers
The following are specific reasons for the buzzing noise when the new Geely Emgrand starts: 1. Abnormal friction between the wheel brake disc and brake pads: The noise is caused by abnormal friction between the wheel brake disc and brake pads. 2. Issues with the vehicle's suspension system: The noise may be due to poor performance of related components in the vehicle's suspension system. However, diagnosing noise and sound-related issues in vehicles requires on-site testing and listening to the noise, combined with an analysis of the conditions under which the noise occurs, its characteristics, and its source to make an accurate judgment.
Having run an auto repair shop for years, I've noticed that the Geely Emgrand's starting clunk is a common complaint. The noise is mostly caused by issues in the chassis suspension system, such as worn or loose stabilizer links or aged shock absorber bushings, which shift and produce a clicking sound upon starting. It could also be due to play in the driveshaft's universal joints, creating vibration and noise when engine torque is transmitted to the wheels. Loose brake calipers can cause similar noises. I recommend owners first crouch down to check for obvious damage around the tires, then visit a professional shop promptly for an inspection using a lift to observe any loose chassis components. Ignoring it may worsen the problem, even affecting handling safety during turns. Also, avoid disassembling parts yourself to prevent damaging other components. Regular suspension system maintenance can prevent this issue.
