Rolling noises are relatively common on vehicles, both for a Kia Sephia and any other model. But in practice, a certain number of elements can generate rolling noises. Whatever happens, those are issues that need to be addressed. We will therefore see via this text what are the most usual bearing noises on a Kia Sephia, and what to do to repair it.
Rolling noise front or rear wheels on the Kia Sephia
First of all, it is wiser to understand the nature of the noise. If it is a noise coming from the engine block, we will see that in the next paragraph. Here, we are going to discover the rolling noises coming from the wheels of your Kia Sephia. It is a phenomenon that can occur as much front, rear, left wheel or right wheel . In general, it is a thud , quite similar to the sound that the wheel naturally emits, but more intense and more serious. This noise should be made when you turn the steering wheel in one direction, unless both sides are defective. If this is your case, this noise may come from the wheel bearings. There is not much to do in this situation there, you just have to change them. Be aware that a locked bearing can cause the wheel to stop completely. Carrying out repairs alone at home requires a few special tools. The best is to have a lift to raise your Kia Sephia.
Rolling noise from the engine block of the Kia Sephia
Even if there are bearings in many places in a Kia Sephia, there are a few engine block components that are more likely to generate this noise. Usually it's either the pulley of the water pump , or the pulley of alternator . In both cases, you will have to either change the bearing only, but you are necessarily more serene by replacing the full kit.
