First of all, it is wiser to understand the cause of the noise. If it is a noise coming from the engine block, we will see that in the next paragraph. Here, we will discover the rolling noises coming from the wheels of the Smart Fortwo 3. It is a phenomenon that can happen as much front, rear, left wheel or right wheel . Usually it's a thud , quite similar to the sound naturally generated by the wheel, but louder and more serious. This noise should be heard when you turn the steering wheel in one direction, unless both sides are defective. If this is your case, this noise probably comes from the wheel bearings. There is not much to do in this situation there, you just have to replace them. Be aware that a locked bearing can cause the wheel to stop completely. Making repairs alone requires a number of specific tools. The best thing is to have a lift to raise the Smart Fortwo 3.
