Golf VI R :: Creaking Type Noises When Going Over Bumps / Rougher Roads

2013 4dr Stage 1 w/ dog bone tranny insert, VWR springs, 29K mi. LONG time Corrado VR6 owner - new to OBD II / turbo cars.

Car just doesn't feel as "solid" as it should. I expected it to feel really buttoned down with a quiet cabin.

I hear annoying creaking type noises when going over bumps / rougher roads (even did this with stock springs) Sounds like coming from rear interior, like window seal areas.

Not sure if this is due to body flex or something else. Anything to address this? Would any kind of stabilizer bars (front strut / rear hatch / under body chassis) work? or make it worse?

Metro :: 1993 - Creaking And Popping When Go Over Wavy Roads Or Take Sharp Curves At Speed

My '93 Metro 3 cyl (The Phoenix) is becoming a bit 'Long in the Tooth'...

Now, this summer, it has started creaking and popping when I go over wavy roads or take sharp curves at speed.

If I accelerate/decelerate the frame pops over on the passenger side and I hear pops in the trunk area.

I wonder how much longer it will be safe to drive.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Random Chirp That Happens When Drive Over Rough Roads / Bumps

I have a 2010 RX350 that has an intermittent chirp sound when driving. It's on the left side around the front driver's side. The dealer believes it's coming from the suspension (everything has been checked and is fine - all the bushings lubed and bolts tightened). But I believe it's coming from the inside (maybe the dash?). It's a random chirp that happens when you drive over rough roads/bumps, but not always.

Nissan - Altima :: Creaking Sound Coming From Left Front Wheel When Go Over Speed Bumps

I've noticed a creaking sound coming from the left front wheel when I go over a couple of particularly large speed bumps. I have had a lot of problems with the suspension in this car, and have replaced the front struts, the front right control arm, and the sway bar links and bushings. My best guess is that this noise is coming from the front left control arm, as it has not been replaced, although my current mechanic says that the front left control arm is fine. Also, it has been under 10 F here the past few days, so this could also just be a result of the cold weather.

Video of the noise: [URL] ....

It has ST coilovers already and read a post from the previous owner here and he said the noise started after the install and he was told ot was the upper mounts??? Does this sound correct?? Also i noticed it when parked and just turning the wheel back and forth, popped the hood and had my son turn it and it did sound like it was coming from the upper strut area....

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Squeaking Noise From Dashboard When Driving Over Rough Road Surfaces And Speed Bumps

I have an RX 450H and noticed that there is a squeaking sound coming from the dashboard. I looked at other posts where people were experiencing similar issues and noticed one post where someone had a GS 450H and fixed this issue by adding felt between the dashboard and the windscreen.

I would like to know whether this method works 100% and whether I can apply this method to the RX 450H. The noise becomes worse when it is cold and especially when the car is being driven over rough road surfaces and speed bumps.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Dash Rattle While Going Over Bumps Or Driving On Patchy Roads

I have a rattling problem with my 2011 Prius and Here are the quick facts:

The rattling typically happens while going over bumps or driving on patchy roads. It happens when running over the "buttons" on the road.

The noise is not related to RPM, or transition from battery to engine usage.

If I had to describe the noise, I would call it a "plasticy" buzzing/ticking.

It definitely sources from the driver side dashboard. Passengers cannot hear it well.

This is a video of the rattling.

I have tried pressing down on various panels, none seem to eliminate or dampen the sound completely.

However! Smacking the light-gray panel below the "triangle window" use to temporarily reduce the noise.

I've tried removing the same panel below the driver side "triangle window" because I thought the noise was coming from there but it persisted.

I read on another rattle thread that the column supporting the roof (and bordering the triangle window) is the real culprit, but punching it only reduces the rattle sometimes.

I've brought it into my local Toyota and they did a search for anything that could be rattling. They didn't work, and after they finished the center console was rattling too (which I've fixed).

Also, cold weather seems to worsen the symptoms. I should also state that sometimes I have little to no rattling, but on other trips there is no end to the rattling.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Very Rough Whenever Go Over Bumps

I own a 2001 VW GTI VR6 and whenever I go over bumps, it is very very rough, feels like my car went into a 5 inch pothole. Now I have been doing research as to what the problems could be, but i just recently installed HotBits suspension, top mounts were changed, rear axle bushings were changed, along with my sway bar bushings.

Passat (B6) :: Noise From Front Suspension When Going Over Small Bumps On Roads At Low Speeds

I'm getting ready to do some maintenance such as flushing the brake fluid, new air filter, and changing spark plugs. I've noticed lately a noise from what I'm assuming is my front suspension that can be heard when going over small bumps on roads at low speeds. It sound like a squeaky spring, almost like something needs to be oiled. I'm still on stock suspension with close to 80k on the clock, so I was wondering if there is anything in particular I should look for when I'm messing around the wheels bleeding brakes, or if there is a common procedure to lubricate something so the noise stops. I can hear it from inside the cabin so I imagine you can hear it from outside the car.

Golf/GTI VI :: Clunking Sound When Pulling Car Into Driveway Or At Speed Bumps

I had to raise the car a bit to clear the apr turbo outlet pipe. Raised a little too much and was hearing a clunking sound pulling into my driveway or speedbumps, etc. Contacted HR and they said the coilovers have an operating range and to lower them a bit. So.. i have about 3/8" of thread left on both fronts and my (not so scientific measuring method) fender/ground is 24" vs 26.25 stock as measured on a stock gti on my dealer lot. I still have a ton of thread to drop the car (about 1.5") as seen in the picture below. The issue i have is what the spring looks like. It rides fine in my day to day commute so its not noticeable but looking at it, it looks collapsed??

IS F (2008-2014) :: Creaking Going On At Low Speeds Over Small Bumps

So I've got some creaking going on at low speeds only over small bumps. Sounds like it's coming from the passenger rear area. It's an 08 with just under 28k miles. I'm not noticing any issue indicating the strut being blown, it's just an annoying creaking. I didn't realize how noticeable it was outside the car until driving through a parking garage with the windows down on Friday.

Prius (2004-09) :: Suspension Squeaking And Creaking Over Bumps
