Noise vibration front end Citroen C1 : the shock absorber cup
One of the most likely reason of symptoms on your Citroen C1 front axle noise is advanced wear and tear on your suspension system. In fact, the suspension cups, when they are out of date, the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension no longer assumes its role and during small jolts that compress the suspensions. To verify if this is the trouble that concerns you, take a dented, slow-speed road and pay attention to the noise coming from your front end as you pass over holes. If these are the cups, think about changing them promptly as this may affect other components and require more pricey repairs.
Noise while turning front end Citroen C1 : stabilizer bar
If you know of a noise on your Citroen C1 at the level of the front end when you are turning flat or climbing on sidewalks for example, it is most likely related to one of the parts of your stabilizer bar that is faulty. To validate the origin of the trouble, you may feel a lack of stability in the direction of the automobile (it pulls to the left or it pulls to the right). Also, you can position yourself on one side of one of your front wheels then the other and try to shake your wheels strongly, if you hear a clicking sound it is highly imaginable that your silentblocks of stabilizer bar are out of date. In this case, go to your garage.
Front axle noise when turning Citroen C1 : direction triangles
Finally, you may have a noise in the front wheel on your Citroen C1, when you accelerate, brake or in a rather random but regular way. It is likely that the reason of this trouble comes from the direction triangle or the direction hinges. Indeed, a damaged steering triangle will be testable during the acceleration phases when it will move away and the car will pull on the outside of the weak triangle (left triangle pulls to the left) and when braking towards the inside of the same side (left triangle pulls to the right). You can also verify the state of the swivel bellows visually, which may disrupt the action of changing direction. If you are in one of these cases go to your technician.

Front end noise squeaking Citroen C1 : cardan shaft
One of the most common causes when noise shows up on the front axle of your Citroen C1 when you turn with your automobile is related to the direction of your automobile. Certainly, the gimbals and their bellows are parts that are constantly stressed during your changes of direction and a wear of one of them can generate “Clac clac” type noises when you reach the stop zone of your direction. A bellows with holes will damage the cardan shaft very quickly and must be replaced very quickly, otherwise it will be necessary to change the entire cardan shaft. Remember to take a look at it and have it repaired if necessary. If it is rather a squeaking noise on Citroen C1, do not hesitate to consult this article to find the solution to your problem.
