What Causes the Rustling Sound When the Car is Running?
1 Answers
It could be a bearing failure. In this case, a "rustling" sound will be emitted, which may turn into a "rattling" or "whistling" sound in severe cases. Deformed tire treads, bulges, severe wear, or tire pressure outside the standard range may all cause radial jumping of the tires during driving, resulting in abnormal noise. The tires need to be replaced or the tire pressure adjusted. During normal driving, it is important to regularly check the condition of the tires. Below are some related explanations: 1. Steering wheel noise: Poor lubrication of the steering column, resulting in high friction; insufficient power steering fluid; check if there is an issue with the universal joint; aging and hardening of the rubber bushings on the chassis suspension stabilizer bar links; aging of the steering tie rod ball joints, which need replacement; if a "clicking" noise is heard when turning the steering wheel, it indicates a problem with the steering gear, which needs to be replaced promptly. 2. Causes of body noise: It could be due to poor material stiffness of the body itself, which deforms over time and causes friction with other components, resulting in noise. In this case, simply applying adhesive tape to the friction area can usually alleviate the issue. Another possibility is that prolonged driving has caused some components to loosen, in which case the loose parts need to be identified and secured.
