Passat (B7) :: Noise Coming From Rear Suspension When Going Over Speed Bumps

I'm new to vw and I have a passat 3.6 sel premium and I have been hearing a noise coming from my rear suspension when I have a full car or going over speed bumps and such. It took it to the dealer and they said that they couldn't replicate the problem, could it be the control arms or it's bushings? The car is only 6 months old smh.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Rear Suspension Noise When Going Over Speed Bumps

I'm in the market for an '09 Sonata 4cyl. I found a good looking one at a local Toyota dealership (supposed trade in). Unfortunately, the dealer claims there are no service records available...test drove it and heard noise coming from rear suspension when going over speed bumps. Dealer had tech look into it and said they lubed up the 'springs' and stabilizer/sway bar and now the noise is gone. Should I run away or take this thing in for an independent inspection, and if it checks out, buy it without the service records?

Ford - Explorer :: 2005 XLT - Front End Noise When Go Over Speed Bumps

I have a 2005 Explorer XLT Sport 4x4 w/ 118k miles. I am having front end noise when I go over speed bumps, driveway aprons, etc.

I already replaced the Struts/Coils, and ball joints, the sway bar end links are newer. The noise is almost like a noise an old spring mattress would make.

What could the issue be?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Suspension / Shocks Are Terrible When Comes To Speed Bumps

I have a 2013 Elantra GLS and from the day I got it, I've felt like the suspension/shocks are just terrible when it comes to speed bumps. In my apartment complex I have to slow to 5 MPH whereas in a friend's Focus, Accord, and 200C I can ride over them at 20MPH no problem. The speed bumps are pretty small and nothing special. The car seems fine with potholes that sink into the ground but poor with bumps that rise out of the ground. Is it just me? Do the stock Hankook tires have anything to do with it?

Passat (B6) :: Front Suspension Squeaking Noise When Going Over Speed Bumps

2010 VW Passat - Sedan

See the attached videos. The first one (night time) was made before I took the car to the dealer the first time. Dealer said that I was going too fast over the speed bumps, so I made another video (daytime) showing the speed (10-13 mph). Both times you can hear a squeaking noise coming from the front that I just started hearing last week. The car has only 23,000 miles on it. I bought it brand new back in September of 2010. I don't know what to do because the dealer (of course) says that they checked everything and there is nothing wrong with the car.

What was the cause of it. I can take it to a mechanic and check it myself and then bring it to VW for repairs and telling them exactly what's wrong and why.

Touareg :: Sport Mode (Air Suspension) And Driving On Speed Bumps

I would prefer to drive my treg in sport mode on the air suspension because I find that I get slightly better cornering, etc. However, there are about 8 speed bumps in my normal "to gym and to work" morning drive and 5 on the way home. Some are the big wide new-style speed bumps. Some are the little narrow hard bumps. I usually leave the sus in comfort or auto because of this. Is it "bad" for the suspension to take speed bumps at a fairly good clip with the air suspension? Worse when it's tightened up for sport mode??

Ford - Explorer :: 2001 - Clunking From Rear Diff When Go Over Bumps

Problem on early 2001 Sport Trac 4X4. I don't have the whining but a clunk when I go over bumps. I jacked up the left side and I can pull the rear wheel in and out maybe a 1/32 and I hear the clunk so I'm sure the loose rear end is the problem. How do I go about fixing it? New/used rear end? Mine is a 2001 (drum rear brakes)...

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: 2007 - Clunk In The Front Suspension Making Noise While Going Over Small Speed Bumps

I have a 2007 Sonata Ltd (63000 miles) and had a clunk in the front suspension. I had the front upper control arms replaced (which were visually badly worn) and that fixed the problem. But now, a several months later another similar clunking noise has developed when I go over those small speed bumps in parking lots.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: F350 - Rear Suspension Clunk Over Bumps / Heaves In The Road

I have a 2005 king ranch and have a clunk coming from the back over bumps/heaves in the road. It doesn't happen all the time but often enough. I just replaced the shocks, that worked a little but didn't solve the problem. Now thinking rear sway bar end links? Anything I can check/inspect?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2002 F250 - Rattling Noise Coming From Front Suspension When Going Over Small Bumps

2002 F-250 7.3 4x4 ...

I have a rattling noise coming from the front suspension (both sides) when going over small bumps. Most people point to ball joints, but I find my case odd because I just replaced

Upper/Lower ball joints
Track bar
Tie rod ends
Shocks
Front U joints
Drag link

I did not touch the leaf springs or the sway bar, except to grease the links, which otherwise looked good.

Ford - Explorer :: 2002 - Thumping Sound Occasionally When Passing Over Small Bumps In The Road

I recently did a brake job on an 02 Explorer, consisted of new pads and rotors (Rear). The Slide pins were fine and the piston was not frozen in the calipers.

Shortly after the Explorer will occasionally make this "thump...thump....thump..." feeling/sound.

It is not vibration.... it feels more like passing over small bumps in the road.

It is most consistent from 30-50mph, but I have felt it from 20-65.

It is more prominent on decel, but you can feel it on accel as well.

It makes no difference if you touch the brakes or not, or if you push the clutch in and/or take it out of gear.

Speed does not seem to effect the timing of the "thumps" it appears to be the same from 20-60mph. I'm at a loss...

Prius (2010-12) :: Term Independent Rear Suspension Pops At Head Over Bumps

I almost bought a Gen 2 Prius, right before the introduction of the Gen 3. Then I waited a few years before I finally bought my Gen 3 Prius.

Don't let this out. But it's bothering me that I'm no longer at the top of the Standard Prius evolutionary chain.

The Gen 4 tribe is chipping rocks to make arrow heads... and using fire to cook meat and provide warmth...

Every time I go over a bump, the term Independent Rear Suspension pops in my head. An instrument panel that has multiple colors. I can only grunt and slobber and take what comfort I can from the pale light of the vacuum tube like glow of the Gen 3 instrument panel.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Rear Suspension Bushes Making Squeaking Noise In Bumps

My car's rear suspension bushes are getting torn and are making squeaking noise in bumps. I am able to get bush for trailing arm and stabiliser bar. My dealer says that i have to replace the whole knuckle assembly as the bush for that part are not available separately. Is this true or the dealer is trying to earn some quick bucks?

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Thumping Noise From The Rear Feels Like Driving Over Small Speed Bumps

Ford Brakes/Suspension :: 2002 2WD Explorer - Thumping Noise When Accelerate

I have a 2002 explorer 2wd. I am trying to find an answer for this thumping noise as I accelerate. My first thought was a tire. I took them to be checked and had one replaced but all are good and less than 5k miles on them. I feel it in the pedals and in the steering wheel. The repetitive sound increasing with speed. I have, in the last 2 weeks, changed front rotors and pads with no difference in sound but good brakes now. And today replaced the drivers side upper ball joint and the front ds wheel hub assy. And no difference. What may be the problem?

Prius (Gen 3) :: Rear End Don't Rebound On Speed Bumps

In the last few thousand miles, I have noticed that the ride in the rear of the car is rather rough compared to new. For instance, you can feel the roughness and choppiness from the driver seat. When going over speed bumps, the rear end also does not seem to rebound nearly as well as the front. The front struts though, are working just fine.

At first I tried rotating and balancing the tires; the improvement was minimal. At the time I had springs from TRD on the car, so I reinstalled the original Toyota springs from the factory. The rough, choppy ride from the rear now became less noticeable, but is still there. I currently have 43,000 miles.

Lexus GX 2010+ :: Rear Suspension Rattle When Drive Over Quick Choppy Bumps In Pavement

When I drive over quick choppy bumps in pavement I get a rattle in the rear of the suspension, but only when the bump is on one side. When the bump is long and activates both rear wheels, like a speed bump or a large road crack I don't get the rattle.

The sound seems to be worse on the right side and I can't really figure it out. Anything specific I should look out for?
