How to Solve the Abnormal Noise When Volkswagen Lavida Passes Over Speed Bumps?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida produces abnormal noise when passing over speed bumps due to the following reasons: the inner and outer tie rod rubber bushings may cause squeaking sounds on uneven roads; severely damaged bearings may occasionally produce a clicking sound when passing over speed bumps; shock absorber oil leakage; the Mazda 6 front suspension is a double-wishbone independent type with a stabilizer bar; broken engine or transmission mounts; and abnormal noises from door hinges or trunk hinges under stress. Causes of abnormal noise from the chassis: Abnormal noise from the chassis is caused by various factors such as aging of the stabilizer bar link ball joints, excessive clearance in the steering tie rod ball joints, and damage to the cushioning components on the chassis. The function of the stabilizer bar: It prevents the car from rolling when cornering.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for several years and have encountered similar abnormal noises. The creaking sound when going over speed bumps usually prompts me to start by checking the suspension. Worn-out stabilizer bar bushings are prone to making noise—they're rubber components that can crack or wear out over time. I often squat down to inspect the chassis, gently shaking parts with a screwdriver to check for looseness. Another possibility could be shock absorber issues; if they're leaking oil, they might produce squeaking sounds. During regular driving, I make it a habit to periodically check chassis bolts, especially on the control arms and links, tightening them if they feel loose. If I can't handle it myself, I recommend taking it to a repair shop for a thorough inspection with the car lifted. Don't delay too long, as a dislocated suspension could dangerously affect handling. Always ensure safety and have the right tools before attempting any fixes. A simple start would be replacing the bushings first.
