What causes the squeaking noise in the Mercedes-Benz GLC chassis?
3 Answers
It is normal for the brakes to make noise when driving on uneven roads. Below is relevant information about the Mercedes-Benz GLC: 1. Introduction to the Mercedes-Benz GLC: The Mercedes-Benz GLC can essentially be considered the coupe version of the GLK. The reason the GLC wasn't introduced until 2016 is primarily because it is based on the new-generation GLK platform, which provides the GLC with more platform advantages. 2. Configuration details of the Mercedes-Benz GLC: The off-road animation is particularly captivating, with parameters such as gradient, steering angle, direction of travel, roll angle, throttle level, and braking intensity all dynamically displayed in real-time on the central screen. The GLC comes with a relatively rich array of comfort and safety features.
Having driven the Mercedes-Benz GLC for so many years, I've also encountered squeaking noises from the chassis, which are usually caused by aging and cracking of the rubber pads at the chassis connections. Mercedes-Benz vehicles use quite a few of these components, and like tires, they can harden and crack, causing noises when the car goes over bumpy roads. Other causes include wear on the ball joints of the suspension arms or loose screws, where increased friction from wear leads to noise. It's recommended to first check for any obvious looseness in the chassis yourself, such as gently shaking the car body to detect abnormalities. If left unaddressed for a long time, it might affect steering safety, so it's best to quickly visit a 4S shop for an expert inspection with specialized equipment—replacing a part can solve the issue. Regularly checking these areas during maintenance can save a lot of trouble.
My Mercedes-Benz GLC makes squeaking noises from the chassis as soon as it hits the road, especially when taking the family on outings, which raises safety concerns. The main reason is the aging of the rubber components in the chassis. These soft parts can't withstand exposure to wind and sun, cracking and drying out over time, causing friction noises when the car bumps. Additionally, loose screws on the underbody protection panels can also create rattling sounds, much like loose floorboards. While this issue might seem minor, it makes the chassis feel unstable during turns, posing significant risks if left unaddressed. It's advised not to attempt DIY fixes; instead, take it directly to an authorized repair shop where technicians can diagnose and fix it promptly. Parking in covered areas more often can also help extend the lifespan of chassis components.
