What causes the noise on the right side of the 2020 Volkswagen Teramont?
2 Answers
The reasons for the noise on the right side of the 2020 Volkswagen Teramont are: 1. Steering column sticking; 2. Lack of lubrication in the shock absorber pressure bearing. The 2020 Volkswagen Teramont is a mid-to-large-sized SUV with body dimensions of: length 5039mm, width 1989mm, height 1773mm, and a wheelbase of 2980mm. The front suspension of the 2020 Volkswagen Teramont is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 186ps, a maximum power of 137kW, a maximum torque of 320Nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
When driving the 2020 Volkswagen Teramont, I experienced a rattling noise on the right side, especially when going over bumpy roads or making turns. This is usually caused by aging or loose components in the suspension system. The Teramont's suspension is quite rigid, so if the right front shock absorber is leaking or the bushings are worn, it can produce noises during vibrations. Loose connection points in the control arm are also common culprits. Ignoring these issues for too long may lead to unstable driving or even safety risks. I recommend first testing the source of the noise by driving slowly on flat ground—for example, slowly going over small obstacles to listen for changes in the sound. Then, visit a professional repair shop as soon as possible to inspect the suspension components using a lift, checking for tightness or replacing worn parts. Maintaining the suspension system is crucial for driving comfort.
