Finding out noises from your automobile often is never reassuring, so listening noises on your Dacia Duster suspensions when you go over a speed bump can be disturbing. This indicator may be a sign of a small problem as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. Whatever the case, it is essential to check the origin and take the necessary actions to resolve the problem, it is with this aim in mind that we wanted to write this document 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 Dacia Duster
Check Dacia Duster suspension
If you notice a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Dacia Duster, 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 In fact, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are out of date, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its role during small bumps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 verify if this is the problem that worries 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 swapping them fairly quickly or you may damage other parts and have to make more important fixes.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have researched for “Dacia Duster 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 In fact, when the cardan bellows get out of date and the dirt/dust builds up inside them their action is degraded and it is possible to experience a sound when they are in torsion. To verify 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 situations you should consider swapping it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Dacia Duster, don’t hesitate to read this article.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you experience a suspension noise when your Dacia Duster passes over a speed bumps, it is plausible that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Just like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you modify direction. If this is your situation, the components 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 verify it, place it under the vehicle and apply twists on each of its elements to verify that there is no special play on one of them, they are meant to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Please remember to take your vehicle to your auto technician or change them if they are involved.
squeaky noise speed bump Dacia Duster
Check the stabilizer bar
If, however, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you go over a speed bump with your Dacia Duster, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause abnormal friction which can provoke this squeaking noise. Remember to verify by passing under your vehicle the condition of the paint on your bar which will show if there is friction. Second possible point, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dried out and cause noise, in which case take them off from the cradle and grease them, this should eliminate the problem.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last case that we can verify together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks process as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the automobile, a obvious fatigue of these will make a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may happen that a squeaking noise shows up when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Dacia Duster. To swap them go to your auto mechanic.
Other speed bump noise Dacia Duster
If, despite all its assumptions, you still can’t find the source of the noise your Dacia Duster makes when you pass a speed bump, we recommend you to consult this article on a loud noise on Dacia Duster or to visit your auto technician in order to carry an in-depth check on your Dacia Duster and determine this problem.
