Suspension cracking noise Citroen Jumper
Check Citroen Jumper suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Citroen Jumper, 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 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 role during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To examine if this is the issue that concerns 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 changing them quickly or you may ruin other parts and have to make more important auto repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have searched for “Citroen Jumper 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 Indeed, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust amasses inside them their working is degraded and it is possible to experience a sound when they are in torsion.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 conditions you should consider changing it or them.

Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you detect a suspension noise when your Citroen Jumper 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 situation, the parts 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 causes of your noises, to examine it, position it under the automobile and apply twists on each of its elements to examine that there is no particular play on one of them, they are supposed to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Remember to take your vehicle to your auto mechanic or replace 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 Citroen Jumper, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is concerned. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause uncommon friction which can provoke this squeaking noise. Please remember to examine by passing under your automobile the condition of the paint on your bar which will indicate if there is friction. Second possible point, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dry and provoke noise, in which case remove them from the cradle and grease them, this should eliminate the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last possibility that we can examine together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks work as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the automobile, a obvious fatigue of these will generate a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may happen that a squeaking noise occurs when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Citroen Jumper. To swap them go to your auto mechanic.
