Listening noises from your vehicle frequently is never reassuring, so discovering noises on your Skoda Kamiq suspensions when you go over a speed bump can be disturbing. This symptom may be a sign of a small issue as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. Whatever the case, it is important to check the origin and take the necessary actions to correct the issue, it is with this aim in mind that we wanted to write this article to support you see more clearly. We will first see the possible explanations for a crack when the speed bump passes, after that, what can be the cause of a squeaking noise when a speed bump is being passed and finally what to do if you have another noise when a speed bump is passed.
Suspension cracking noise Skoda Kamiq
Check Skoda Kamiq suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Skoda Kamiq, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly plausible that your suspension block is the origin of it. In fact, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are outdated, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its job during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To examine if this is the issue that concerns you, take a dented road and listen to the noise coming from your front axle as you pass over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of swapping them fairly quickly or you may affect other parts and have to make more important fixes.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have looked for for “Skoda Kamiq 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 amasses inside them their working is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion. To examine 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 situations you should consider changing it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Skoda Kamiq, don’t hesitate to read this document.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you find out a suspension noise when your Skoda Kamiq passes over a speed bumps, it is plausible that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Exactly like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you adjust direction. If this is the situation, the parts that may have been broken by normal wear and tear or impacts (e. g. sidewalks). The steering hinges, the stabilizer bar hinges. can be the causes of your noises, to examine it, position it under the automobile and apply twists on each of its components to examine that there is no particular play on one of them, they are supposed to endure you quite strongly over their entire travel. Keep in mind to take your Skoda Kamiq to your auto technician or change them if they are involved.
squeaky noise speed bump Skoda Kamiq
Check the stabilizer bar
If, on the other hand, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you go over a speed bump with your Skoda Kamiq, it is plausible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is concerned. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause uncommon friction which can generate this squeaking noise. Remember to examine by going under your automobile the condition of the paint on your bar which will indicate if there is friction. Second plausible point, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dry and create noise, in which case take them off from the cradle and grease them, this should eliminate the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last point that we can examine together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks function as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the vehicle, a obvious 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 Skoda Kamiq. To swap them go to your auto technician.
Other speed bump noise Skoda Kamiq
If, despite all its assumptions, you still can’t find the source of the noise your Skoda Kamiq makes when you pass a speed bump, we recommend you to refer to this content on a loud noise on Skoda Kamiq or to visit your auto technician in order to carry an in-depth check on your Skoda Kamiq and identify this issue.
