One of the most dangerous car sounds is engine knocking . Experts from ADAC explain that there is a lot to be done about knocking in the internal combustion engine, and this applies both when the engine is cold and when it is warm.
This noise is most often caused by wear on the crankshaft and piston group. If the knocking is also accompanied by a flashing low oil pressure indicator (red light on the dashboard), then the car should be turned off immediately and transported to a repair shop with a repair.
You should also watch out for transmission whine which gets louder as you pick up speed.
Squealing noises from the brakes indicate complete wear of the brake pads and the car is becoming unsafe to drive.
Clicks on the suspension when the car is moving in a turn, indicate damage to the chassis or other parts of the so-called. the power suspension, which can be dangerous.
Strong knocking from the suspension when hitting a small pothole, on the other hand, indicates wear on the ball joints, supports and bushings of the stabilizer, which is also not safe at high speeds.
