Finding out noises from your auto often is never reassuring, so listening noises on your Fiat Ducato 2 suspensions when you go over a speed bump can be worrying. This indicator may be a sign of a insignificant problem as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. In any case, it is fundamental to check the origin and take the necessary actions to correct the problem, it is with this intention in mind that we wanted to write this content to support you see more clearly. We will first see the possible causes for a crack when the speed bump passes, after that, 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 Fiat Ducato 2
Check Fiat Ducato 2 suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Fiat Ducato 2, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly plausible that your suspension block is the origin 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 Indeed, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are outdated, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its job during small bumps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 focus on the noise coming from your front axle as you drive over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of swapping them as soon as possible or you may ruin other parts and have to make more important maintenance.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have searched for “Fiat Ducato 2 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 Indeed, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust builds up inside them their working is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion.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 Fiat Ducato 2, don’t hesitate to consult this document.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you experience a suspension noise when your Fiat Ducato 2 passes over a speed bumps, it is imaginable 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 your 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 origins of your noises, to check it, put it under the automobile 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. Keep in mind to take your vehicle to your mechanic or change them if they are involved.

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 Fiat Ducato 2, it is plausible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause abnormal friction which can generate this squeaking noise. Keep in mind to check by going under your automobile the condition of the paint on your bar which will show if there is friction. Second plausible explanation, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dry and bring on noise, in which case take them out from the cradle and grease them, this should resolve the problem.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last point that we can check together, it is the engine silentblocks, actually, these silentblocks operate as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the auto, a pronounced weakness 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 Fiat Ducato 2. To replace them go to your mechanic.

If, despite all its assumptions, you still can’t locate the source of the noise your Fiat Ducato 2 makes when you pass a speed bump, we recommend you to refer to this article on a loud noise on Fiat Ducato 2 or to visit your mechanic in order to carry an in-depth check on your Fiat Ducato 2 and find this problem.
