Experiencing noises from your automobile regularly is never comforting, so listening noises on your Hyundai Kona suspensions when you go over a speed bump can be worrying. This symptom may be a sign of a minor issue as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. Whatever the case, it is essential to check the source and take the necessary actions to correct the issue, it is with this objective in mind that we wanted to write this document to help 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 Hyundai Kona
Check Hyundai Kona suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Hyundai Kona, 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 Indeed, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are out of date, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its role during small bumps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 issue that concerns you, take a dented road and listen to the noise coming from your front axle as you go 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 vehicle repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have researched for “Hyundai Kona 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 old and the dirt/dust accumulates inside them their functions is degraded 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. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Hyundai Kona, don’t hesitate to visit this document.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you know a suspension noise when your Hyundai Kona 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 the situation, the components that may have been affected by usual wear and tear or impacts (e. g. sidewalks). The steering hinges, the stabilizer bar hinges. can be the causes of your noises, to check it, position it under the vehicle and apply twists on each of its elements to check that there is no special play on one of them, they are supposed to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Remember to take your vehicle to your auto 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 Hyundai Kona, it is plausible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause unusual friction which can generate this squeaking noise. Bear in mind to check by passing under your vehicle the condition of the paint on your bar which will show 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 issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last case 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 automobile, a noticable fatigue of these will create 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 Kona. To swap them go to your auto technician.
Other speed bump noise Hyundai Kona
If, despite all its assumptions, you still can’t uncover the source of the noise your Hyundai Kona makes when you pass a speed bump, we suggest you to consult this content on a loud noise on Hyundai Kona or to visit your auto mechanic in order to carry an in-depth check on your Hyundai Kona and identify this issue.
