What Causes the Abnormal Noise When MG ZS Drives on Uneven Roads?
2 Answers
The causes of abnormal noise when MG ZS drives on uneven roads include shock absorber failure and top mount bushing failure. Shock Absorber Failure: The solution is to replace the shock absorber with a new one. The shock absorber is a wearable part on the car and can last for a long time. However, after prolonged use, the shock absorber may start leaking oil and needs to be replaced in time. Top Mount Bushing Failure: The solution is to replace the aged buffer bushing with a new one. The connection between the car's shock absorber and the body has a buffer bushing, which is a rubber component. Rubber components harden and age over time, causing abnormal noises when the car drives on bumpy roads.
As a long-time owner of the MG ZS, I've encountered similar squeaking noises on rough roads, which are mostly caused by suspension system issues, such as aging shock absorbers or loose suspension links, where metal components rub against each other and create noise when going over bumps. It could also be due to worn chassis bushings or damaged ball joints, especially noticeable when frequently driving over potholes. Sometimes, it's caused by loose brake calipers or failed shock absorber rubber pads. I recommend finding a reliable repair shop to check the tightness of chassis bolts and regularly replacing shock absorbers to prevent this issue. Don't delay fixing it before going on long trips. Another common cause starts with tire problems—debris inside the tire can also transmit noise, so I always clean them during car washes to keep the rims tidy.
