Whatever the case, it is essential to check the origin and take the necessary actions to solve the issue, it is with this intention in mind that we wanted to write this document to help you see more clearly.

Suspension cracking noise Infiniti QX30
Check Infiniti QX30 suspension
If you notice a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Infiniti QX30, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly possible that your suspension block is the origin of it. Indeed, 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 role during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To verify 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 replacing them as soon as possible 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 “Infiniti QX30 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 Indeed, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust accumulates inside them their action is degraded and it is possible to experience a sound when they are in torsion. To verify 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 replacing it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Infiniti QX30, don’t hesitate to check out this document.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you detect a suspension noise when your Infiniti QX30 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 parts that may have been broken 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 verify it, position it under the vehicle and apply twists on each of its elements to verify that there is no particular play on one of them, they are meant to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Remember to take your Infiniti QX30 to your auto technician or change 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 go over a speed bump with your Infiniti QX30, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is concerned. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause uncommon friction which can create this squeaking noise. Please remember to verify by going under your vehicle 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 bring on noise, in which case take them out from the cradle and grease them, this should fix the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last case that we can verify together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks operate as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the auto, 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 Infiniti QX30. To change them go to your auto technician.
