Suspension cracking noise Hyundai Accent
Check Hyundai Accent suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Hyundai Accent, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly possible 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 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 replacing them fairly quickly or you may affect other parts and have to make more important vehicle repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have researched for “Hyundai Accent 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 In fact, when the cardan bellows get out of date and the dirt/dust amasses inside them their action is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion.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 make a turn at low speed. If it cracks in these two circumstances you should consider swapping it or them.

Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you find out a suspension noise when your Hyundai Accent 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 vary direction. If this is the situation, the components that may have been affected 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, position it under the automobile and apply twists on each of its components 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 Hyundai Accent to your auto mechanic or replace them if they are involved.

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 Hyundai Accent, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause unusual friction which can create this squeaking noise. Remember to check by passing under your automobile the condition of the paint on your bar which will reveal if there is friction. Second possible point, 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 check together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks function as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the vehicle, 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 Hyundai Accent. To change them go to your auto technician.
