I observed some minor knocking sound yesterday when going over small bumps, like just one "thock" over a bump. Initially I thought it was just the bumper scraping. But today I observed even more frequent knocking when turning and going over bumps, like once every 4-7 turns. Just now as I was getting back from work just a few miles to reaching my house, it went from once every few turns to constant knocking in straight line then crunching thocky noise like " a mix of old wet brakes and thumping on hollow plastic" sound. I could feel the vibrations on my acceleration pedal.

No accidents, I am a very careful driver. (my previous car lasted 18 years before letting it go because my friend wants to buy it)

My car is a new SUV, I just got it 3 days ago 😭. I will have the service center tow it for inspection.

Proton X70 MC3 2026

Any idea what the issue is? I'm just curious.

I am looking to purchasing a bike for my tour.

1. Is it recommended to use road or gravel bikes?

2. They seem to lack suspensions, would it affect comfort?

3. Are mountain bikes recommended/usable?

4. Would you use thick cushioned seats?

My route will have 40% gravel and poorly paved roads, lots of up/down hill climbs. Trip duration ~3-4 days with with access to civilization. My baggage is roughly 30kg with camping gear and stuff. (excluding fluids)
