Tiguan :: Not So Smooth When Going Over Road Bumps?
The Tiguan isn't so quiet when going over road bumps or potholes? Sometimes it's smooth, other times not so quiet and I can hear sounds from rear of cabin. Maybe more obvious after getting lots of rain too.

Car has 170k kilometers , just over 100k miles on it; GL model so no sport suspension. Noise occurs going over small bumps.
Stabilizer links are the only front ends parts that were changed so far(12 months ago). Can't feel any play in tierods or ball joints, even the struts don't show signs of leakage and bounce test seems to show they are still okay.
Noise appears to come from front of car ; but I hate guessing and throwing money away. Fished a few large chunks of gravel trapped in subframe cross member around steering rack; no change.
Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Suspension Doesn't Make Any Noise Over Small Bumps
I seem to be having a front end noise that only started up a few weeks ago.. The suspension doesn't make any noise over small bumps, only for larger ones. It makes the most noise when pulling into a drive way or something with a steeper grade from a flat street.
The noise I am experiencing sounds more like a scraping. It's not the power steering pump and it's not the brakes. Also, nothing is under the car that would cause this type of noise. It doesn't click or sound like a CV joint, I know what that sounds like. It also has no affect on any other performance of the car. I have tried jumping/pushing down on the car and it cannot seemed to be re-produced. Where I can start looking?
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.

I have a Gs 430 - 2006. After hitting bumps in the highway big or small it seems like my dash or suspension squeaks inside the car. Since I can hear it so clearly I'm leaning towards its the dash or something behind the dash, It seems to be coming from the drivers side.What could it be?

I have a 2009 460 awd with adjustable suspension and when making a right turn the front left side makes a noise. I have had the dealer look at it 5 times or more but each time I am told that there are no problems. Now that the weather is getting colder it is becoming more pronounced.
View 7 RepliesLexus RX 2004-09 :: RX330 Air Suspension - Rattling Noise Over Large And Small Bumps At High And Low Speeds
I have an 04 rx 330 with air suspension. The swaybar end links have just been replaced on the front and a rattling noise persists.
The noise happens over large and small bumps at high and low speeds at normal and low vehicle height. When the height is at "HI" the noise is louder and it feels as though the front end is shaking loose over bumps at 10 km/h+.
I took it in and was advised to replace the end links, they did so and returned it claiming the noise was gone. The air compressor and struts are in working condition.
I have done a search through the forum, not extensive... I was wondering which other components come loose/wear and cause a clunk/rattle/shudder noise.
Also, tires are new and at approx. 32-34 psi.
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.

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.
Camry 2012+ :: Car Don't Ride Smooth Over The Bumps
I recently bought a 2012 Camry LE with 34,000 miles that used to be a rental. At the time of the test drive the car ride seemed perfect. Later, I noticed it doesn't ride nicely on large bumps at low speed. So I bought four new tires which improved the ride. But it's still not as smooth as a new one on the bumps. There is a lot of shock going into a car which gives it a cheap feel.
What would make my car ride the bumps better?
Put in new shocks?
Would I have to place front and rear?
And can I leave the springs?
Ford Brakes/Suspension :: 2011 - Steering Not Smooth Intermittently?
My f150 steering appears to be not as smooth as when originally purchased. Only 50k miles. Typically driving at higher speeds and making slight correction turns it appears to bind just slightly then when it does move the truck tends to over steer.
This is an intermittent issue and can be hard to replicate. Best noticeable at highway speeds as the change occurs more quickly. Doesn't show up once you into a turn but instead most noticeable when going from straight to slight turns. No aftermarket changes since new. Happens with or without pulling loads. Again from center of steering position.
Ford Brakes/Suspension :: After Pressing Pedal Resistance Became Really Soft And Brakes Very Sensitive
I have a 2004 Ford Expedition and today on the freeway I had to step on the brakes pretty hard to avoid an accident. After pressing, the pedal resistance became really soft and the brakes worked, but were very sensitive (a lot of pedal movement to brake). I had this happen some time ago and I did a complete system flush and no problems since then, but it has to do with how hard I hit the brakes. What could be wrong????? BTW - I never noticed the anti-lock brake pedal pulse at all during this event. I'm not even sure it is working at this point. No dash lights to indicate an error of any sort.
View 3 RepliesVolvo - S60 :: Crunch / Squeak When Go Over Small Bumps
I have 1, possible 2 motor mounts in my 2001 Volvo S-60 that kind of crunch/squeak when I go over small bumbs. Actually, the lower passenger side mount does the majority of the crunching noise. The upper mount (visible when you lift the hood) does it more so when its cold and the rubber contracts.
I'm not 100% sure the lower motor mount is what's making that crunching noise - but I'm pretty sure that's what it is as the suspension is in decent shape.
My question is, is it possible to change the lower motor mount myself? I've heard that the engine needs to be supported when doing this, but is that so when you need to only change one? Also, does it actually need to be changed or would any kind of lubricant will work?
Golf IV R32 :: Light Clunk Every Now And Then Over Small Bumps
I recently spun my coils all the way down on the front, removed rear supporter springs, and rear perches. Now I have a light clunk every now and then over small bumps. Looked under the car and nothing is obviously loose or missing. But when I grab the rear driver axle I can wiggle it some. Not real loose but enough to hear the clunk. Like a loose tooth. Sounds like its coming from inside the inner cv.
I plan on jacking the car up after work and taking a closer look to see if its something simple. My question is if I don't see anything what's a possible problem? I've heard people having front axle issues when going real low but its only my rear driver side. Could it just be a bad angle? It's weird ONLY being the driver side.

View 1 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) :: Strange Sound Coming Over Small Bumps
I have a very strange sound coming from the back of the car. It sounds exactly like you have a 6 pack of mineral water in plastic bottles wrapped in foil in the trunk. It makes this sound when I go over some small bumps and not paved roads. However on bigger bumps it is completely quiet.
My problem is that I do not know where the sound is coming from. I would really like to get rid of the sound myself.
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.
View 13 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Horrible Clanking Sound When Going Over Small Bumps
The car has begun making a horrible clanking sound when going over small bumps. It sounds like it did when the control arm bushings were bad on my old mkIV. There are less than 5kmi on the car, so I can't imagine any mounts are worn out. It's still under warranty, so I know that it's just a dealer visit, but I'm wondering anyway. It sounds like crap.
View 8 RepliesScion - TC :: Rattle From Front Wheel Over Small Bumps
I have a 2006 Scion tC, 109k miles. I have a rattle coming from the front-right wheel area. It's only over small bumps (I mean SMALL, like little dips), and I can't really re-produce it on a jack. It happens more frequently when I turn to the left. The frequency of the rattle sounds similar to a paint can ball, but if it were a lower pitch. I'm thinking of checking the the strut mount, or maybe the end link?
