What Causes the Clunking Sound When a Sedan Drives on Rough Roads?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why a sedan makes a clunking sound when driving on rough roads: 1. Loose or deformed chassis components causing abnormal noise. 2. Tire-related noise, such as tread noise. 3. Abnormal noise from chassis components like the engine or transmission internal parts. 4. Noise from various transmission components and connecting parts. 5. Abnormal noise from the front or rear wheel bearings. 6. Human errors during installation, replacement, or maintenance, such as improperly tightened screws, interference between components, incorrect positioning, or reverse installation, leading to component noise. This is very dangerous. 7. Abnormal noise from critical safety components: for example, worn brake pads reaching their limit causing direct grinding noise with the disc; or lack of oil in the power steering system leading to chassis noise.
