Check Peugeot 307 Cc suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Peugeot 307 Cc, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly possible that your suspension block is the origin of it. Indeed, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are out of date, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its role during small bumps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 check if this is the issue that worries you, take a dented road and focus on the noise coming from your front axle as you drive over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of replacing them fairly quickly or you may damage other parts and have to make more important auto repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have researched for “Peugeot 307 Cc suspension noise” and the suspension is not the cause of your problem, it may be that the cardan shaft is responsible. Indeed, when the cardan bellows get old and the dirt/dust builds up inside them their functions is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a sound 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 turn at low speed. If it cracks in these two conditions you should consider changing it or them.

Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you experience a suspension noise when your Peugeot 307 Cc passes over a speed bumps, it is imaginable that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Just like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you adjust direction. If this is your situation, the components that may have been affected by regular wear and tear or impacts (e. g. sidewalks). The steering hinges, the stabilizer bar hinges. can be the origins of your noises, to check it, place it under the vehicle and apply twists on each of its components to check that there is no special play on one of them, they are meant to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Please remember to take your vehicle to your auto mechanic or change them if they are involved.

Check the stabilizer bar
If, however, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you go over a speed bump with your Peugeot 307 Cc, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause unusual friction which can provoke this squeaking noise. Remember to check by going 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 dried out and cause noise, in which case remove them from the cradle and grease them, this should solve the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last case 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 obvious fatigue of these will create a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may happen that a squeaking noise appears when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Peugeot 307 Cc. To change them go to your technician.
