Why does driving over a stone make a loud bang?

[SavannahLynn]

Driving over a stone and hearing a loud bang is the sound of the stone colliding with the tire. Avoid driving on bumpy roads: When using your car, try to avoid deep potholes, and always slow down when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps. This reduces the impact on the suspension system. Driving over bumpy roads or speed bumps may alter the car's wheel alignment data, so it's important to regularly check and adjust the wheel alignment. Incorrect wheel alignment can lead to uneven tire wear or the car pulling to one side. Car shock absorbers: The shock absorbers in a car are wear-prone components. While they generally last a long time, their performance degrades over time. If you hit a large stone and hear a loud noise, it might be coming from the shock absorber. In some cars, shock absorbers may also start leaking oil as they age.
