Suspension cracking noise Chrysler 300
Check Chrysler 300 suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Chrysler 300, and it is categorized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly possible that your suspension block is the origin of it. In fact, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are out of date, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its role during small bumps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 trouble 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 replacing them quickly or you may damage other parts and have to make more important repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have researched for “Chrysler 300 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 builds up inside them their operation is degraded and it is possible to experience a noise 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 swapping it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Chrysler 300, don’t hesitate to consult this content.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you know a suspension noise when your Chrysler 300 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 adjust direction. If this is the case, the parts that may have been destroyed 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 check it, put it under the car and apply twists on each of its elements to check that there is no special play on one of them, they are expected to endure you quite strongly over their entire travel. Keep in mind to take your vehicle 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 pass a speed bump with your Chrysler 300, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is concerned. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause irregular friction which can generate this squeaking noise. Remember to check by going under your car 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 dry and cause noise, in which case take them off from the cradle and grease them, this should solve the trouble.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last possibility that we can check together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks work as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the vehicle, a pronounced 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 Chrysler 300. To swap them go to your auto technician.
