Chassis Noise Guide: Sound Types and Corresponding Fault Locations
Chassis Noise Reference
- "Clunk" over bumps: Ball joints, arm bushings, sway links
- "Squeak" on bumps: Sway bushings, aged arm bushings, spring pads
- "Hum" while driving: Wheel bearings
- "Click" when steering: Strut bearing
- "Thud" over holes: Failed shocks, aged mounts
- "Clunk" on launch/brake: Subframe bushings, engine mounts
Quick Tips
- Noise when turning in place → steering/strut bearing
- Noise over bumps → suspension joints/bushings
- Louder with speed → wheel bearing
- Idle vibration noise → engine mounts
Advice
Fix noises early - small parts (bushings) become big bills (arms, tires). Huami supplies complete repair parts.
