What noise does a bad axle make?

A bad axle can produce a variety of noises, depending on the severity of the damage. Some of the most common noises include:

* A humming or grinding noise that increases in pitch as the vehicle speeds up.

* A clunking or popping noise when the vehicle turns.

* A squeaking or squealing noise when the vehicle brakes.

* A clicking or snapping noise when the gearshift is engaged.

* A grinding or growling noise from the differential.

It is important to note that not all noises are necessarily indicative of a bad axle. If you are unsure what is causing the noise, it is best to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic.
