Check Peugeot e-2008 suspension
If you encounter a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Peugeot e-2008, and it is characterized 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 old, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its role during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To verify if this is the issue that concerns you, take a dented road and listen to the noise coming from your front axle as you circulate over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of changing them as soon as possible or you may affect other parts and have to make more important maintenance.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have searched for “Peugeot e-2008 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 old and the dirt/dust accumulates inside them their operation is degraded and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion. To verify 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 replacing it or them.

Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you find out a suspension noise when your Peugeot e-2008 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 destroyed by normal wear and tear or impacts (e. g. sidewalks). The steering hinges, the stabilizer bar hinges. can be the origins of your noises, to verify it, put it under the vehicle and apply twists on each of its elements to verify that there is no special play on one of them, they are supposed to endure you quite strongly over their entire travel. Please remember to take your Peugeot e-2008 to your technician or replace them if they are involved.

Check the stabilizer bar
If, alternatively, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you pass a speed bump with your Peugeot e-2008, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is concerned. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause irregular friction which can provoke this squeaking noise. Remember to verify by passing under your vehicle the condition of the paint on your bar which will indicate if there is friction. Second possible explanation, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dry and create noise, in which case take them out from the cradle and grease them, this should fix the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last case that we can verify together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks process as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the automobile, a evident fatigue of these will create a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may appear that a squeaking noise shows up when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Peugeot e-2008. To replace them go to your mechanic.
