Discovering noises from your automobile often is never comforting, so discovering noises on your Dacia Lodgy suspensions when you go over a speed bump can be stressful. This symptom may be a sign of a minor problem as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. In any case, it is fundamental to check the cause and take the necessary actions to solve the problem, it is with this intention in mind that we wanted to write this document to help you see more clearly. We will first see the possible reasons for a crack when the speed bump passes, after that, 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 Lodgy
Check Dacia Lodgy suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Dacia Lodgy, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly plausible that your suspension block is the cause of it. Indeed, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are outdated, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its job during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To check if this is the problem that worries you, take a dented road and listen to 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 damage other parts and have to make more important fixes.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have searched for “Dacia Lodgy 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 Indeed, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust amasses inside them their action is degraded and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion.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 replacing it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Dacia Lodgy, don’t hesitate to refer to this document.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you know a suspension noise when your Dacia Lodgy 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 change direction. If this is the situation, the components that may have been destroyed by normal 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, place it under the car and apply twists on each of its elements to check that there is no particular play on one of them, they are expected to endure you quite strongly over their entire travel. Please remember to take your Dacia Lodgy to your auto technician or change them if they are involved.
squeaky noise speed bump Dacia Lodgy
Check the stabilizer bar
If, on the other hand, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you go over a speed bump with your Dacia Lodgy, it is plausible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is concerned. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause unusual friction which can generate this squeaking noise. Please remember to check by passing under your car the condition of the paint on your bar which will reveal if there is friction. Second plausible explanation, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dried out and bring on noise, in which case remove them from the cradle and grease them, this should fix the problem.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last point that we can check together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks operate as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the automobile, a obvious weakness of these will make a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may appear that a squeaking noise shows up when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Dacia Lodgy. To change them go to your technician.
Other speed bump noise Dacia Lodgy
If, even though all its assumptions, you still can’t find the source of the noise your Dacia Lodgy makes when you pass a speed bump, we recommend you to refer to this content on a loud noise on Dacia Lodgy or to visit your auto technician in order to carry an in-depth check on your Dacia Lodgy and discover this problem.
