Why does my car make a knocking sound when I reverse?

A popping / clunking noise when moving in reverse can be caused by many things. Two of the most common causes for those symptoms are worn axles or motor mounts. The axles are the joints that transmit power from the transmission to the wheels. The same can also be caused by worn engine or transmission mounts.

Why does my car make a thumping noise when I rotate the tires?

Also, the noise is variable depending on the speed AND the duration of noise is also speed dependent (going slow, the thump is drawn out. Going faster, the thump duration is shorter.)

What to do when your car makes a thumping noise?

If the problem goes away when the snow melts, well, problem solved. Or you could take the car to one of those diy car washes, where you put some quarters in then you use a pressurized wand to spray out all the wheel wells. I’d try that first before assuming it is something else.

Why does my car make noise when I turn a corner?

Alignment problems can also produce noise by causing tire scuffing. When the wheels are not aligned during a turn, a tire can shift sideways instead of rolling forward. Normal tire wear, when tire tread depth is very low, can lead to the same noise. Combined with excessive speed, this can cause tire squealing and possibly a loss of traction.

What should I do if my tires are making noise?

Combined with excessive speed, this can cause tire squealing and possibly a loss of traction. To prevent excessive noise, ensure that tires are properly inflated, slow down during turns, and have your suspension checked for damage and proper alignment. Replace tires before they get to 2/32” tread depth.

Is there a ticking noise in the steering wheel?

I can also feel it faintly through the steering wheel. It’s not a ticking or hard knocking noise. Also, the noise is variable depending on the speed AND the duration of noise is also speed dependent (going slow, the thump is drawn out. Going faster, the thump duration is shorter.)
