Suspension cracking noise Mercedes AMG GT
Check Mercedes AMG GT suspension
If you notice a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Mercedes AMG GT, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly possible 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 Indeed, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are out of date, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its function during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To check if this is the issue 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 changing 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 looked for for “Mercedes AMG GT 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 amasses inside them their operation 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 turn at low speed. If it cracks in these two cases you should consider replacing it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Mercedes AMG GT, don’t hesitate to read this document.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you find out a suspension noise when your Mercedes AMG GT 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 your situation, the parts that may have been destroyed by regular 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, put it under the car and apply twists on each of its elements to check that there is no special play on one of them, they are expected to endure you quite strongly over their entire travel.

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 Mercedes AMG GT, 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 cause this squeaking noise. Remember to check by passing under your car the condition of the paint on your bar which will show if there is friction. Second possible explanation, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dry and bring on noise, in which case take them off from the cradle and grease them, this should solve the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last point that we can check together, it is the engine silentblocks, actually, these silentblocks work as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the automobile, a noticable fatigue of these will generate a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may happen that a squeaking noise appears when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Mercedes AMG GT. To swap them go to your auto technician.
