Suspension cracking noise Bmw Serie 2 F22
Check Bmw Serie 2 F22 suspension
If you encounter a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Bmw Serie 2 F22, and it is categorized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly possible that your suspension block is the origin of it. In fact, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are dead, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its function during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To check if this is the problem that concerns you, take a dented road and pay attention to the noise coming from your front axle as you pass over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of changing them fairly quickly or you may affect other parts and have to make more important repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have researched for “Bmw Serie 2 F22 suspension noise” and the suspension is not the cause of your problem, it may be that the cardan shaft is responsible. In fact, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust amasses inside them their action is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion. To check this, you can try both types of torsion, first vertical with suspension compressions on the speed bump passages, and horizontal when you are going to make a turn at low speed. If it cracks in these two circumstances you should consider changing it or them.

Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you recognise a suspension noise when your Bmw Serie 2 F22 passes over a speed bumps, it is possible that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Simply like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you adjust direction. If this is the situation, the components that may have been damaged by regular wear and tear or impacts (e. g. sidewalks). The steering hinges, the stabilizer bar hinges. can be the causes of your noises, to check it, position it under the automobile and apply twists on each of its components to check that there is no special play on one of them, they are supposed to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Remember to take your vehicle to your auto technician or replace them if they are involved.

Check the stabilizer bar
If, however, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you pass a speed bump with your Bmw Serie 2 F22, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is concerned. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause unusual friction which can create this squeaking noise. Please remember to check by going under your automobile the condition of the paint on your bar which will reveal if there is friction. Second possible explanation, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dry and cause noise, in which case take them out from the cradle and grease them, this should eliminate the problem.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last point that we can check together, it is the engine silentblocks, actually, these silentblocks work as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the car, a evident weakness of these will create a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may happen that a squeaking noise happens when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Bmw Serie 2 F22. To change them go to your mechanic.
