What to Do When the Car Makes Abnormal Noises at Low Speed?

[Mercedes]

Solutions for abnormal noises during low-speed driving are as follows: 1. Loose ball joint of the steering tie rod: Check if the ball joint of the steering tie rod is loose, as a loose ball joint can cause noise when turning to one side. However, note that pulling by hand may not be sufficient to determine, because if it can be moved by hand, the ball joint is too loose. Use a pry bar to apply force and check, preferably operating on a lift. 2. Clutch noise: When the engine is idling, stepping on the clutch pedal causes abnormal noise, which disappears when the pedal is released. Sometimes, noise occurs both when stepping on and releasing the pedal. 3. Foreign objects: Check if there are water bottles or other items inside the car that are not secured properly, as they may move and collide during turns, causing abnormal noises.
