What Causes the Noise from the Right Front Wheel?
2 Answers
This situation may occur due to damage to the suspension control arm of the right front wheel or the shock absorber of the right front wheel. It could also be caused by damage to the buffer rubber of the right front wheel's shock absorber. After encountering this issue, it is recommended to take the car to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop to lift the vehicle and inspect the chassis. Here are some relevant introductions: 1. The suspension is an important component of a car, serving to connect the wheels to the body. Without the suspension, the car cannot operate normally. The suspension consists of many control arms, and if these control arms age or their bushings are damaged, the car may produce noise when driving over bumpy roads. 2. The areas where the car's shock absorbers connect to the body have buffer rubbers. Rubber products can age over time with prolonged use. If the rubber hardens due to aging, the hardened buffer rubber can also cause the car to produce noise when driving over bumpy roads.
I recently noticed a clicking sound coming from the right front wheel while driving, especially noticeable when going over speed bumps. During my last maintenance visit, the mechanic said it might be due to a loose ball joint in the suspension system—I've encountered this issue with my old car before. Additionally, if it's a metallic squeaking sound, it's most likely a brake pad problem; last time, my brake pads were worn down to the limit and started grinding against the wear indicator. Another possibility is a large stone stuck in the tire tread or a nail puncture—this kind of noise changes with vehicle speed. By the way, a bad wheel bearing can also produce a humming noise, similar to an airplane taking off. If you want to inspect it yourself, first check for any tire bulges or trapped stones, then listen to the type of sound. It's best not to delay repairs—fixing it early ensures peace of mind and prevents more serious safety issues.
