Listening noises from your automobile frequently is never comforting, so listening noises on your Chrysler 200 suspensions when you go over a speed bump can be stressing. This warning sign may be a sign of a minor problem 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 resolve the problem, it is with this goal 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 reason 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 Chrysler 200
Check Chrysler 200 suspension
If you notice a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Chrysler 200, and it is categorized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly possible that your suspension block is the cause 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 Indeed, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are out of date, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its role during small bumps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 examine if this is the problem that worries 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 changing them as soon as possible 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 “Chrysler 200 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 Indeed, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust accumulates inside them their action is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a sound when they are in torsion.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 turn at low speed. If it cracks in these two cases you should consider swapping it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Chrysler 200, don’t hesitate to check out this content.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you recognise a suspension noise when your Chrysler 200 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 modify direction. If this is the situation, the components that may have been damaged by usual wear and tear or impacts (e. g. sidewalks). The steering hinges, the stabilizer bar hinges. can be the origins of your noises, to examine it, put it under the car and apply twists on each of its elements to examine that there is no special play on one of them, they are supposed to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Please remember to take your Chrysler 200 to your technician or swap them if they are involved.

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 Chrysler 200, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is concerned. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause abnormal friction which can generate this squeaking noise. Please remember to examine by going under your car the condition of the paint on your bar which will tell us 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 off from the cradle and grease them, this should resolve the problem.
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 automobile, a noticable fatigue of these will create a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may appear that a squeaking noise occurs when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Chrysler 200. To change them go to your technician.
Other speed bump noise Chrysler 200
If, even though all its assumptions, you still can’t find the origin of the noise your Chrysler 200 makes when you pass a speed bump, we suggest you to refer to this content on a loud noise on Chrysler 200 or to visit your technician in order to carry an in-depth check on your Chrysler 200 and find this problem.
