Listening noises from your car often is never comforting, so discovering noises on your Mercury Milan suspensions when you go over a speed bump can be worrying. This indicator may be a sign of a minor issue as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. Whatever the case, it is necessary to check the cause and take the necessary actions to correct the issue, it is with this intention in mind that we wanted to write this article to help you see more clearly. We will first see the possible causes for a crack when the speed bump passes, then, 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 Mercury Milan
Check Mercury Milan suspension
If you notice a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Mercury Milan, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly plausible that your suspension block is the cause of it. Indeed, 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 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 replacing them fairly quickly or you may affect other parts and have to make more important auto repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have researched for “Mercury Milan 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 Indeed, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust amasses inside them their action is degraded and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion.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 conditions you should consider replacing it or them.

Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you know a suspension noise when your Mercury Milan passes over a speed bumps, it is possible that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Just like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you change direction. If this is the situation, the parts that may have been affected 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 vehicle and apply twists on each of its elements 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 Mercury Milan to your mechanic or replace them if they are involved.
squeaky noise speed bump Mercury Milan
Check the stabilizer bar
If, alternatively, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you go over a speed bump with your Mercury Milan, it is plausible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause abnormal friction which can generate this squeaking noise. Bear in mind to examine by going under your vehicle the condition of the paint on your bar which will reveal if there is friction. Second plausible explanation, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dry and bring on noise, in which case disassemble them from the cradle and grease them, this should solve the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last point that we can examine together, it is the engine silentblocks, actually, these silentblocks process as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the car, a noticable weakness of these will make 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 Mercury Milan. To swap them go to your technician.

If, despite all its assumptions, you still can’t uncover the origin of the noise your Mercury Milan makes when you pass a speed bump, we advise you to refer to this content on a loud noise on Mercury Milan or to visit your mechanic in order to carry an in-depth check on your Mercury Milan and identify this issue.
