Suspension cracking noise Peugeot Boxer 2
Check Peugeot Boxer 2 suspension
If you notice a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Peugeot Boxer 2, and it is categorized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly plausible that your suspension block is the cause 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 In fact, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are out of date, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its job during small bumps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 problem that worries you, take a dented road and pay attention to the noise coming from your front axle as you go over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of replacing them as soon as possible or you may ruin other parts and have to make more important maintenance.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have looked for for “Peugeot Boxer 2 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 In fact, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust builds up inside them their operation is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion.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 cases you should consider swapping it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Peugeot Boxer 2, don’t hesitate to visit this article.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you know a suspension noise when your Peugeot Boxer 2 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 change direction. If this is your situation, the parts that may have been destroyed 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 verify it, place it under the vehicle and apply twists on each of its components to verify that there is no particular play on one of them, they are expected to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Keep in mind to take your Peugeot Boxer 2 to your mechanic or replace 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 pass a speed bump with your Peugeot Boxer 2, it is plausible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause unusual friction which can generate this squeaking noise. Bear in mind to verify by passing under your vehicle the condition of the paint on your bar which will tell us if there is friction. Second plausible explanation, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dried out and bring on noise, in which case take them out from the cradle and grease them, this should resolve the problem.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last possibility that we can verify together, it is the engine silentblocks, actually, these silentblocks act as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the auto, 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 comes up when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Peugeot Boxer 2. To swap them go to your technician.
