Even if the weird clicking noises coming from your car are nothing to be concerned about, it’s better not to ignore them. A clicking noise can be made for a number of reasons, including driving or turning the ignition. Below is a list of some of the most typical clicking triggers. When you need a solution for your car’s clicking, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service.
One Click
If there is only one click, the starter may require repair. If this happens, it may be necessary to replace the starter, which is responsible for starting the engine. If the starter turns out not to be the issue, it could be an electrical issue or a faulty starter relay.
Rapid Clicking
If your car makes a brief clicking noise when you turn it on, the electrical system may not be functioning properly. The two most typical offenders are either a dead battery or an inefficient alternator. Jump-starting the battery may temporarily fix the problem, but to avoid a breakdown on the road, it's critical to get your vehicle inspected straight away.
While Driving Slowly
If you frequently hear a clicking noise when driving at a moderate speed, the CV joints may be to blame. Look for telltale wear indicators such as cracks or leaks in the CV joints. Significant joint deterioration will require replacement. You might need to entirely replace the axle if you wait too long. It's possible that the brake pads are to blame for this noise as well. When lightly pressed, poorly positioned brake pads may click.
