Reasons for Abnormal Noises When Passing Over Speed Bumps
1 Answers
When passing over speed bumps, the repeated abnormal noises are often due to the friction sound from the stabilizer bar bushings. These bushings tightly wrap around the metal rod, and when going over speed bumps, the rotation of the metal rod against the bushings produces the noise. Generally, this sound cannot be heard from outside the vehicle. Additionally, if the installed engine guard is deformed or the screws are loose, it can also cause abnormal noises while driving. Furthermore, unauthorized modifications to wiring or the installation of electrical devices in the engine compartment that are not securely fixed can lead to such noises. Below is some relevant knowledge about shock absorber inspection: Check the shock absorbers for any deformation or oil leakage. The shock absorber top mount has three screws, which should be tightened with a wrench. The issue might also be caused by dry friction due to insufficient lubrication of the upper and lower shock absorber bushings. These can be removed and lubricated with grease.
