As we do with the vehicles in our new car inventory, we offer Toyota specials on the pre-owned Toyota cars on our lot. Just like we’re happy to explain our current specials, we’re always eager to answer any automotive questions you might have. If you’re like a lot of other motorists, you might be curious about what certain car noises may mean.
Making strange sounds is one of the ways your automobile can alert you to a problem. Squealing is a common noise cars make when they experience certain issues. If the sound is coming from a wheel well, squealing typically indicates your brake pads are worn and need to be replaced. When you notice squealing sounds emanating from under your hood when you speed up, it’s likely an indication that a belt needs to be tightened or replaced with a new one.
If you hear a loud clicking noise when you turn, you should make an appointment to bring your vehicle into our Wilkes-Barre, PA Toyota service center. The clicking noise is probably a sign that at least one of the constant velocity joints on your front axle needs to be replaced. Don’t put this repair off too long or you may end up having to replace your axle, which will be much more expensive.
When you stop your automobile and hear a ticking sound, it’s an indication that you have a problem. More specifically, it’s a sign that your vehicle is low on oil. To remedy this problem, bring your vehicle to MotorWorld Toyota so our factory-trained technicians can change your oil and oil filter.
