FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles
Why are my wheels making a chirping sound when I accelerate?
A chirping or squealing sound from your wheels during acceleration often indicates a failing wheel bearing. Grinding or grating noises can also be signs of wheel bearing issues. If you’re in Hayward, Fremont, Newark, or Union City, visit Autowise Automotive for a quick diagnosis and repair of wheel bearing problems, ensuring smooth and safe driving with quality replacement parts, including options from autowise car parts.
Why does my car make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?
Noises or clicks when turning the steering wheel are commonly caused by low power steering fluid. Air entering the steering system due to low fluid levels can cause these noises. Autowise Automotive can quickly top off your power steering fluid. If the noise persists or returns quickly, you may have a steering fluid leak, which our Hayward professionals can diagnose and repair affordably, ensuring the longevity of your steering system with quality fluids and potentially autowise car parts for any component replacements.
Why is my car making a squealing noise?
A persistent squealing noise could be a slipping fan belt. Listen for squeaking or chirping sounds, which often result from belt and pulley misalignment. Visit Autowise Automotive in Hayward for expert technicians to realign or replace your fan belt, preventing complete belt failure and ensuring your engine accessories function correctly, with options for durable belts from autowise car parts.
Why do my brakes squeak?
Squeaking brakes are often a sign of worn brake pads. The squeal is typically caused by the brake pad wear indicator contacting the rotor. Brakes are crucial for safety, so address squeaking brakes promptly. Autowise Automotive can inspect and replace your brakes, ensuring optimal stopping power and safety. If squeaking occurs only briefly in the morning due to moisture, it’s usually less of a concern.
