Suspension cracking noise Mercedes Benz GLE Class
Check Mercedes Benz GLE Class suspension
If you encounter a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Mercedes Benz GLE Class, and it is categorized 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 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 function during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To check if this is the problem that worries 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 changing them 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 “Mercedes Benz GLE Class 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 old and the dirt/dust amasses inside them their working 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 replacing it or them.

Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you detect a suspension noise when your Mercedes Benz GLE Class passes over a speed bumps, it is plausible that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Simply like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you modify direction. If this is the situation, the parts that may have been damaged 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, put 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. Please remember to take your vehicle to your technician or replace 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 Mercedes Benz GLE Class, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause irregular friction which can generate this squeaking noise. Please remember to check by passing under your automobile the condition of the paint on your bar which will indicate if there is friction. Second possible explanation, 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 case that we can check together, it is the engine silentblocks, actually, these silentblocks act as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the car, a evident fatigue of these will make a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may happen that a squeaking noise comes up when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Mercedes Benz GLE Class. To replace them go to your auto technician.
