Rolling noises are relatively frequent on cars, both on an Opel Senator and on any other model. But indeed, various constituents can generate rolling noises. In any case, those are dysfunctions that need to be addressed. We will therefore see through this post what will be the most frequent bearing noises on an Opel Senator, and what should be done to repair it.
Rolling noise front or rear wheels on the Opel Senator
First of all, it is important to understand the cause of the noise. If it is a noise coming from the engine, we will see that in the next paragraph. Here, we will see the rolling noises coming from the wheels of the Opel Senator. It's a problem that can happen as much front, rear, left or right wheel . Usually it's a thud , quite similar to the sound naturally generated by the wheel, however 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 are not that many solutions there, you just have to change them. Be aware that a blocked bearing can cause the wheel to come to a complete stop. Carrying out repairs yourself requires a few specific tools. The best thing is to have a lift to raise the Opel Senator.
Noise from the Opel Senator engine
Even if there are bearings in many places on an Opel Senator, there are several engine components that are more conducive to generating this noise in question. Often 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 it is necessarily more serene by replacing the entire kit.
