Keeping your vehicle out of harm’s way is a big worry for any car owner. Our Ontario Mercedes staff at Mercedes-Benz Brampton has compiled a list of seven noises to look out for to identify issues with your vehicle.
–
This is a noise that everyone is familiar with and is likely a loose lug nut inside your hub cap. You can prevent this from happening by making sure your lug nuts are twisted tightly.
–
Brakes are one of the most important things on your vehicle to keep maintained. If you hear these noises then you need to get your brakes checked immediately. The noise usually comes from metal touching metal, a sign of worn down brakes.
–
On rear and four-wheel drive, this could mean that your constant velocity joints on the front axle need to be replaced.
–
This indicates that your universal joint needs to be assessed. The U-joint comes in pairs and are a part of the driveshaft.
–
This red flag means that your bearings are failing and need to be replaced. Bearings help parts rotate smoothly in your vehicle.
–
This is a dangerous situation and could be a big problem with the valves that connect the rods or pistons. If you ever experience this then you need to bring it to our service shop immediately.
–
This sounds can usually be traced to worn or loose accessory belts that work with the power steering pump, air conditioner compressor and alternator. If your vehicle is new, then it is usually caused by the serpentine belt which is easy to replace.
–
If you ever notice any of these issues, do not hesitate to bring your #MercedesBenz vehicle to our Mercedes Benz Ontario dealership. Our service technicians are constantly trained throughout the year to be up to date with Mercedes-Benz trends and issues.
