Here are some car tips on heading off a break down or an accident. There are times you’ll notice a weird noise and can’t image what it might be or where it is coming from. Here are some common noises and what they usually mean.
Car Tips for Weird Noises
Of course, it is impossible to diagnose a noise without ever hearing it firsthand. But these tips will give you some indication on whether or not you can put off the visit to A1 Performance Auto Repair to have it checked out.
Pennies Repeatedly Hitting Metal
If it sounds like pennies are rolling around in a steel drum then you should stop right away. This could very well be a lug nut that has fallen off and it’s bouncing around inside your hubcap. If one fell off, likely there are more either loose or have fallen off. Pull over and check every lug nut on the car for tightness.
Clicking or Popping When You Turn
When you turn right or left you hear a weird clicking, popping or finger snapping sound and it goes away when you are driving straight, this might be a CV joint in your front axle. It might need replacing. Have it checked when convenient, but very soon.
Loud Rhythmic Tapping
Rhythmic tapping or banging coming from under the hood is a potentially serious situation with your car’s engine. Pull over and have A1 Performance Auto Repair tow it into the shop.
