Finding out noises from your auto often is never reassuring, so discovering noises on your Mitsubishi Pajero 3 suspensions when you go over a speed bump can be stressing. This symptom may be a sign of a insignificant issue as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. In any case, it is fundamental to check the source and take the necessary actions to correct the issue, it is with this aim in mind that we wanted to write this article to help you see more clearly. We will first see the possible causes for a crack when the speed bump passes, after that, 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 Mitsubishi Pajero 3
Check Mitsubishi Pajero 3 suspension
If you encounter a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Mitsubishi Pajero 3, and it is categorized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly plausible that your suspension block is the origin of it. In fact, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are out of date, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its job during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To verify if this is the issue that concerns you, take a dented road and pay attention to the noise coming from your front axle as you pass over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of swapping 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 looked for for “Mitsubishi Pajero 3 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 In fact, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust amasses inside them their functions is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a sound when they are in torsion.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 Mitsubishi Pajero 3, don’t hesitate to read this content.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you experience a suspension noise when your Mitsubishi Pajero 3 passes over a speed bumps, it is plausible that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Exactly like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you adjust direction. If this is the situation, the components that may have been damaged by regular wear and tear or impacts (e. g. sidewalks). The steering hinges, the stabilizer bar hinges. can be the origins of your noises, to verify it, put it under the car and apply twists on each of its components to verify 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 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 Mitsubishi Pajero 3, it is plausible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is concerned. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause unusual friction which can cause this squeaking noise. Remember to verify by passing under your car the condition of the paint on your bar which will show if there is friction. Second plausible explanation, 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 eliminate the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last possibility 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 noticable weakness of these will generate 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 Mitsubishi Pajero 3. To replace them go to your technician.
Other speed bump noise Mitsubishi Pajero 3
If, despite all its assumptions, you still can’t locate the origin of the noise your Mitsubishi Pajero 3 makes when you pass a speed bump, we recommend you to consult this content on a loud noise on Mitsubishi Pajero 3 or to visit your technician in order to carry an in-depth check on your Mitsubishi Pajero 3 and find this issue.
