What causes the front wheel noise in Audi A6?
1 Answers
The noise from the front wheels of an Audi A6 is often due to issues with the wheel hub or bearings. There are several potential causes for front wheel noise: Check if the wheel hub bolts are loose, inspect the outer tire for any punctures from hard objects like screws, remove the outer tire to see if anything fell inside during tire replacement, and examine the bearings. A rhythmic sharp noise may indicate friction from the brake pads being too close to the brake disc. A continuous sharp noise could suggest a faulty bearing. A continuous dull noise might point to an issue with the drive shaft. Also, observe if the noise changes between neutral and drive gears; if it does, the drive shaft is likely the cause. Left front wheel noise: If the left front wheel is making noise, it might be due to increased play in the left front wheel suspension or a malfunctioning shock absorber. The suspension system includes rubber bushings, which can deteriorate over time. Worn-out rubber bushings can lead to increased suspension play, resulting in noise.
