Finding out noises from your car often is never reassuring, so hearing noises on your Fiat Scudo suspensions when you pass a speed bump can be worrying. This sign may be a sign of a insignificant problem as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. Whatever the case, it is important to check the cause and take the necessary actions to correct the problem, it is with this aim 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, 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 Scudo
Check Fiat Scudo suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Fiat Scudo, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly plausible that your suspension block is the origin of it. In fact, 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 job during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To examine if this is the problem that concerns 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 replacing them fairly quickly or you may ruin other parts and have to make more important fixes.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have looked for for “Fiat Scudo 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 In fact, when the cardan bellows get out of date and the dirt/dust amasses inside them their working is degraded and it is possible to experience a sound when they are in torsion.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 make a turn at low speed. If it cracks in these two situations you should consider replacing it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Fiat Scudo, don’t hesitate to refer to this content.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you detect a suspension noise when your Fiat Scudo passes over a speed bumps, it is imaginable that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Exactly like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you modify direction. If this is the situation, the parts 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 examine it, put it under the vehicle and apply twists on each of its components to examine that there is no particular play on one of them, they are expected to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Please remember to take your vehicle to your technician or swap them if they are involved.
squeaky noise speed bump Fiat Scudo
Check the stabilizer bar
If, on the other hand, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you pass a speed bump with your Fiat Scudo, it is plausible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause irregular friction which can create this squeaking noise. Bear 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 dry and create noise, in which case take them out from the cradle and grease them, this should resolve the problem.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last case 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 car, a pronounced fatigue of these will create a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may happen that a squeaking noise comes up when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Fiat Scudo. To replace them go to your auto mechanic.
Other speed bump noise Fiat Scudo
If, despite all its assumptions, you still can’t locate the origin of the noise your Fiat Scudo makes when you pass a speed bump, we advise you to refer to this content on a loud noise on Fiat Scudo or to visit your technician in order to carry an in-depth check on your Fiat Scudo and find this problem.
