Rolling noises are relatively common in cars, both on a Nissan Leaf and on another model. But in reality, several constituents can generate rolling noises. Whatever happens, those are dysfunctions that need to be dealt with. We will therefore see through this post what will be the most frequent bearing noises on a Nissan Leaf, and what to do to repair it.
Rolling noise front or rear wheels on the Nissan Leaf
First of all, it is important to understand the origin of the noise. If it is a noise coming from the engine block, we will see that in the next paragraph. Here, we will see the rolling noises coming from the wheels of your Nissan Leaf. It's a phenomenon that can happen as much front, rear, left or right wheel . Generally, it is a thud , quite similar to the sound naturally generated 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 the case, this noise may come from the wheel bearings. There is not much to do there, you just have to change them. Be aware that a locked bearing can cause the wheel to stop completely. Performing repairs alone at home requires a number of special tools. The best is to have a lift to raise your Nissan Leaf.
Rolling noise from the Nissan Leaf engine block
Even if there are bearings everywhere on a Nissan Leaf, there are several components of the engine block 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, you will have to either change the bearing only, but you are always more serene by replacing the integral kit.
