Suspension cracking noise Kia Carens
Check Kia Carens suspension
If you encounter a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Kia Carens, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly possible that your suspension block is the cause of it. In fact, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are outdated, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its function during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To check if this is the problem that concerns 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 damage other parts and have to make more important repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have researched for “Kia Carens 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 In fact, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust accumulates inside them their action is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion.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 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 experience a suspension noise when your Kia Carens 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 vary direction. If this is the situation, the components that may have been broken 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, place it under the car and apply twists on each of its components to check that there is no particular play on one of them, they are supposed to endure you quite strongly over their entire travel. Remember to take your Kia Carens to your auto mechanic or change them if they are involved.

Check the stabilizer bar
If, alternatively, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you go over a speed bump with your Kia Carens, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause uncommon friction which can create this squeaking noise. Please remember to check by passing under your car the condition of the paint on your bar which will tell us if there is friction. Second possible point, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dried out and create noise, in which case take them out from the cradle and grease them, this should fix the problem.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last point that we can check together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks act as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the auto, a evident weakness of these will create a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may appear that a squeaking noise happens when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Kia Carens. To change them go to your auto mechanic.
