4 types of noise indicate a problem with your car’s suspension system

4 types of noise indicate a problem with your car's suspension system


Noise in your car’s suspension usually means you’re on a winding road, especially if the problem has not been identified. But what do these different sounds mean and can they be fixed?
Many people think that the suspension system in the car is a feature to provide an easy and comfortable ride, but when you hear a sound or noise when your car goes over a bump or when changing corners, it is more than just a sense of comfort, but why?
How do suspension systems work in a car ?
There are springs attached to your tire that absorb ground clearance and drop.

  • Shock absorbers must absorb the movement of the springs and dissipate them when they are in good condition.
  • Around the shock absorber is a coil spring called a strut, these struts are positioned to dissipate the shocks.
  • These parts work together to provide a smooth ride and keep the vehicle stable on the road, so tire pressure and tuning is extremely important because tires are an important part of a vehicle’s suspension system.

Don’t Destroy Your Tires
Irregular wear in the tires One of the clues that there is something wrong with your suspension system is the type of wear on your tires.
One of the most important works of the suspension system and shock absorbers is to reduce the pressure on your tires, if you do not notice irregular tread wear patterns, you will have a chance to change some suspension parts and end up buying new tires.
Does your car make these sounds?
The noise of your car may indicate the wear of some parts in the suspension system or that some parts are worn and must be changed. Do not compromise your safety by driving with shock absorber problems, especially when hearing these sounds:
1- Hearing a slap sound when passing on bumps or when Changing angles
This sound means that a worn shock absorber causes the springs to vibrate excessively against the car body
2- grunt or squeak
Hearing squeaks over bumps and turns means your front steering is starting to wear out, and it could cause you to lose control of your vehicle’s steering.
3-
Rusty sound like door hinge rusting Bad hinges used in the suspension system sound like rusty door hinges when the car vibrates up and down or back and forth.
4- Annoying rattles
Although they are hard to diagnose as many suspension parts can make this noise when they start to wear out the rattles can be a symptom of something bigger and should be checked.
Go to your auto mechanic
Describe any and all unusual sounds to your mechanic If you have any concerns about your vehicle’s suspension, he can help you diagnose the problem more quickly this way.
Suspension systems are not only complicated but also essential for your safety. They help your tires grip the road if you encounter slippery surfaces, dangerous driving situations, or when you suddenly need to stop.
If you notice any of the above sounds while driving, do not hesitate to visit a service center or a specialized mechanic.
