A mechanic has released a video explaining why some cars make a “crunching” noise, and warned of the dangers of ignoring the signs.
In this video posted on Facebook,RCJ Mobile MechanicsThe mechanic introduces the sounds of common car troubles such as serpentine belts, pistons, rocker arms, and ignition systems.
“Any unusual noises, such as scraping, banging,[…]rattling, etc., are not ‘normal’. These noises mean that parts are worn or on the verge of failure. Act early or it will cost you more later,” the mechanic warned.
In the comments section, someone asked about a “crunching sound” coming from the car every time they turned the steering wheel, and it was pointed out that this sound could be due to a problem with the driveshaft’s CV joint (constant velocity joint).
Others have shared their problems seeking diagnosis, but ultimately only a qualified mechanic at a repair shop can identify the problem.
Think of cars as people and mechanics as doctors. While remote consultation may be helpful in mild cases, an in-person inspection is essential for a complete diagnosis and appropriate repair.
