What is the problem with abnormal noise from the right rear wheel when turning?
2 Answers
Turning noise is the sound emitted when the steering resistance pump reaches its limit. If abnormal noises come from the chassis while the car is moving, it is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection and correction. The following are the causes of abnormal noise: 1. When car tires come into contact with the ground, they produce various noises of different intensities due to the type or unevenness of the road, the speed of the car, the type of tires, and the air pressure of the tires themselves. First, check whether the tire screws are tightened to eliminate the symptoms of abnormal noise. 2. When the hub screws are loose, the wheels will make slight knocking noises when lightly braking downhill. If the rear wheel screws are loose, the noise from the wheels will be amplified through the trunk and may be mistaken for sounds coming from items placed in the rear box. When the hub screws are severely loose, the wheels will wobble while moving, and a more obvious clicking sound can be heard at low speeds. In this case, the car should be stopped immediately to check the hub screws.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I've encountered this issue quite often. Unusual noises from the rear wheels during right turns are usually caused by several common reasons. It could be loose or worn suspension components, such as aging control arm bushings or failed shock absorbers, where increased body roll during turns causes friction and squeaking. Sometimes it's a brake system issue, like worn or rusted brake pads sticking or calipers not retracting properly, leading to scraping sounds when the brake disc is under pressure during turns. Tire problems are also common, with low pressure or uneven tread wear causing rolling noises during turns. Lack of differential lubrication can also result in gear friction sounds. I recommend starting with simple checks like tire pressure and tread condition, and if that doesn't help, seek a professional mechanic sooner rather than later—don't ignore safety risks.
