Q: Truck makes drumming sounds at the back
At speeds 35 mph and over, the truck starts making the drumming sounds. The noise comes from the back of the truck, from underneath. It usually occurs when I accelerate fast or get over a holes on the road. The noise lasts only for a moment. It would also increase as the speed increases. If the track has a bit more load on it, the noise would be more noticeable at lower speeds. What might be causing the noise?
