Hearing noises from your car often is never comforting, so hearing noises on your Nissan Rogue suspensions when you go over a speed bump can be worrying. This indicator may be a sign of a small trouble as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. Whatever the case, it is necessary to check the cause and take the necessary actions to eliminate the trouble, it is with this intention in mind that we wanted to write this content to help you see more clearly. We will first see the possible explanations for a crack when the speed bump passes, after that, what can be the cause 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 Nissan Rogue
Check Nissan Rogue suspension
If you notice a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Nissan Rogue, and it is categorized 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 old, 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 check if this is the trouble 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 replacing them fairly quickly or you may ruin other parts and have to make more important auto repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have searched for “Nissan Rogue 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 Indeed, when the cardan bellows get out of date and the dirt/dust builds up inside them their functions is degraded and it is possible to experience a sound when they are in torsion.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 make a turn at low speed. If it cracks in these two situations you should consider replacing it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Nissan Rogue, don’t hesitate to consult this article.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you recognise a suspension noise when your Nissan Rogue passes over a speed bumps, it is plausible that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Just like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you adjust direction. If this is your situation, the components 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 automobile 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. Keep in mind to take your vehicle to your mechanic or swap 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 Nissan Rogue, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause abnormal friction which can provoke this squeaking noise. Remember to check by passing under your automobile 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 provoke noise, in which case take them off from the cradle and grease them, this should fix the trouble.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last case that we can check together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks operate as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the car, a noticable fatigue of these will generate a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may appear that a squeaking noise occurs when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Nissan Rogue. To swap them go to your auto mechanic.
