    Then it keeps on with clicking, popping or snapping sound when the wheel is turned and eventually turn into a squeaking sound at the end of a stop, when the gas pedal is used and/or also when hitting bumps. Another symptom could be 'thud' noises coming from front suspension when going over bumps.

    In such a situation, a pedestrian is struck by a car front; for instance, the bumper touches either the leg or knee-joint area; then, the lower part of the body is accelerated forward, while the upper part of the body rotates and accelerates to the car; this will likely cause damage to pelvis and thorax.

    These absorb the impact far more effectively than a solid rubber bump-stop will, essential, because a rubber bump-stop is considered a "last-ditch" emergency insulator for the occasional accidental bottoming of the suspension; it is entirely insufficient to absorb repeated and heavy bottoming, such as a high-speed off-road vehicle encounters.

  5. Bump steer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_steer

    Bump steer is the term for the tendency of the wheel of a car to steer itself as it moves through the suspension stroke. Bump steer causes a vehicle to turn itself when one wheel hits a bump or falls down into a hole or rut. Excessive bump steer increases tire wear and makes the vehicle more difficult to handle on rough roads.

    The surface of this type of vibrating coating line is distributed and scattered with raised bumps. Some bumps are coated with high-refractive-index glass beads.When a speeding vehicle runs over the raised road lines, it produces a strong warning vibration to remind the car driver of deviation from the lane.

  7. Bump and run (auto racing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_and_run_(Auto_Racing)

    Bump and run is a technique for passing mainly used in stock car and touring car racing, which eventually inspired the police PIT maneuver.While the bump and run maneuver is not uncommonly used in series such as NASCAR, it is dangerous to use in open-wheel racing in general due to the extremely high speeds and relative fragility of open-wheel race cars.

  8. Rumble strip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_strip

    The 'classic' one-car crash results when a vehicle slowly drifts to the right, hits dirt or rumble strips on the right shoulder of the road, and the driver becomes alert and overreacts, jerking the wheel left to bring the vehicle back onto the road. This motion causes the left front tire to strike the raised edge of the pavement at a sharp ...

    Washboarding effect on a road. Washboarding or corrugation [1] is the formation of periodic, transverse ripples in the surface of gravel and dirt roads.Washboarding occurs in dry, granular road material [2] with repeated traffic, traveling at speeds above 8.0 kilometres per hour (5 mph). [3]
