Rolling noises are relatively common on vehicles, both for a Jeep Patriot and for another model. But in reality, several components can generate rolling noises. Whatever happens, those are issues that need to be addressed. We will see through this post what will be the most common rolling noises on a Jeep Patriot, and what to do to remedy it.
Rolling noise front or rear wheels on the Jeep Patriot
Above all, it is essential to understand the origin of the noise. If it's a noise coming from the engine, we'll see that in the next paragraph. Here, we will see the rolling noises coming from the wheels of your Jeep Patriot. It's a problem that can happen as much front, rear, left wheel or right wheel . In general, it is a thud , quite similar to the sound produced by the wheel, but louder and more serious. This noise should be accentuated when you turn the steering wheel in one direction, unless both sides are damaged. If this is your case, this noise probably comes from the wheel bearings. There are not a lot of solutions in this situation there, you just have to change them. Be aware that a locked bearing can cause the wheel to stop completely. Performing repairs yourself requires a number of special tools. The best is to have a lift to raise your Jeep Patriot.

Even if there are bearings in many places in a Jeep Patriot, there may be some engine components that are more conducive to generating this type of noise. Usually it's either the pulley of the water pump , or the pulley of alternator . In both cases, it will either replace the bearing only, but we are necessarily more serene by changing the complete kit.
