Finding out noises from your automobile often is never reassuring, so hearing noises on your Fiat Fullback suspensions when you pass a speed bump can be stressing. This indicator may be a sign of a insignificant issue as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. Whatever the case, it is necessary to check the source and take the necessary actions to solve the issue, it is with this objective in mind that we wanted to write this article to support you see more clearly. We will first see the possible causes for a crack when the speed bump passes, then, 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 Fullback
Check Fiat Fullback suspension
If you notice a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Fiat Fullback, and it is categorized 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 Indeed, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are outdated, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its role during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To examine if this is the issue that concerns you, take a dented road and listen to the noise coming from your front axle as you circulate 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 auto repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have searched for “Fiat Fullback 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 Indeed, when the cardan bellows get out of date and the dirt/dust amasses inside them their functions is degraded and it is possible to experience a sound when they are in torsion.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 swapping it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Fiat Fullback, don’t hesitate to read this document.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you experience a suspension noise when your Fiat Fullback passes over a speed bumps, it is imaginable 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 the case, the parts that may have been damaged by normal 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 vehicle and apply twists on each of its elements to examine that there is no particular play on one of them, they are supposed to endure you quite strongly over their entire travel. Remember to take your Fiat Fullback to your technician or change them if they are involved.
squeaky noise speed bump Fiat Fullback
Check the stabilizer bar
If, alternatively, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you pass a speed bump with your Fiat Fullback, 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 create this squeaking noise. Keep in mind to examine by passing under your vehicle the condition of the paint on your bar which will tell us if there is friction. Second plausible explanation, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dried out and provoke noise, in which case take them off from the cradle and grease them, this should solve the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last case that we can examine 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 pronounced fatigue of these will generate a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may appear that a squeaking noise comes up when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Fiat Fullback. To change them go to your mechanic.
Other speed bump noise Fiat Fullback
If, despite all its assumptions, you still can’t uncover the source of the noise your Fiat Fullback makes when you pass a speed bump, we advise you to consult this article on a loud noise on Fiat Fullback or to visit your technician in order to carry an in-depth check on your Fiat Fullback and determine this issue.
