What Causes the Front Wheels to Make Abnormal Noises When Driving Over Speed Bumps?
1 Answers
When a car makes a clunking noise while driving over speed bumps, it is usually caused by a loose stabilizer bar or a faulty shock absorber. Generally, shock absorbers themselves rarely produce abnormal noises. However, noises can occur if the shock absorber fails, deteriorates, has loose or detached internal components, has a loose rubber bushing on the mounting ring, or lacks oil or leaks oil. It is recommended to promptly inspect and repair the vehicle when such noises occur. Below is some related information about speed bumps: 1. Speed bumps, also known as speed humps, are traffic installations placed on roads to slow down passing vehicles. They are typically strip-shaped, though some are dot-shaped, and are primarily made of rubber, though some are metal. They are usually painted in alternating yellow and black colors to attract visual attention, with a slight elevation on the road surface to force vehicles to slow down. 2. Speed bumps are commonly installed in areas where vehicles need to reduce speed, such as road intersections, industrial and mining zones, schools, residential entrances, and accident-prone sections. They are a specialized traffic safety measure designed to reduce the speed of both motorized and non-motorized vehicles.
