Discovering noises from your vehicle frequently is never comforting, so listening noises on your Genesis G80 suspensions when you pass a speed bump can be worrying. This sign may be a sign of a minor problem as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. Whatever the case, it is necessary to check the origin and take the necessary actions to correct 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 explanations 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 Genesis G80
Check Genesis G80 suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Genesis G80, and it is categorized 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 Indeed, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are out of date, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its role during small bumps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 check if this is the problem that worries you, take a dented road and pay attention 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 affect other parts and have to make more important repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have researched for “Genesis G80 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 Indeed, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust builds up inside them their working is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a sound when they are in torsion.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 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 Genesis G80, don’t hesitate to refer to this article.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you find out a suspension noise when your Genesis G80 passes over a speed bumps, it is plausible that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Simply like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you vary direction. If this is your 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 check it, position it under the automobile and apply twists on each of its elements to check that there is no special play on one of them, they are supposed to endure you quite strongly over their entire travel. Remember to take your Genesis G80 to your auto mechanic or swap them if they are involved.
squeaky noise speed bump Genesis G80
Check the stabilizer bar
If, alternatively, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you pass a speed bump with your Genesis G80, it is plausible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause uncommon friction which can cause this squeaking noise. Keep in mind to check by passing under your automobile the condition of the paint on your bar which will indicate if there is friction. Second plausible point, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dried out and bring on noise, in which case take them off from the cradle and grease them, this should resolve the problem.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last possibility that we can check together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks process as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the vehicle, a pronounced weakness of these will generate a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may appear that a squeaking noise occurs when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Genesis G80. To swap them go to your mechanic.
Other speed bump noise Genesis G80
If, even though all its assumptions, you still can’t uncover the source of the noise your Genesis G80 makes when you pass a speed bump, we advise you to refer to this article on a loud noise on Genesis G80 or to visit your auto mechanic in order to carry an in-depth check on your Genesis G80 and determine this problem.
