Discovering noises from your vehicle regularly is never reassuring, so discovering noises on your Peugeot Rcz suspensions when you go over a speed bump can be stressing. This sign may be a sign of a insignificant problem as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. Whatever the case, it is necessary to check the source and take the necessary actions to resolve the problem, it is with this intention in mind that we wanted to write this content to support 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 Peugeot Rcz
Check Peugeot Rcz suspension
If you notice a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Peugeot Rcz, and it is characterized 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 In fact, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are outdated, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its function during small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 examine if this is the problem that worries you, take a dented road and listen to the noise coming from your front axle as you pass over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of changing them fairly quickly or you may damage other parts and have to make more important fixes.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have searched for “Peugeot Rcz 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 accumulates inside them their action is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion. To examine 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 circumstances you should consider swapping it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Peugeot Rcz, don’t hesitate to refer to this document.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you know a suspension noise when your Peugeot Rcz passes over a speed bumps, it is possible 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 the situation, the components that may have been broken 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 examine it, put it under the vehicle and apply twists on each of its components to examine that there is no special play on one of them, they are supposed to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Remember to take your Peugeot Rcz 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 Peugeot Rcz, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause abnormal friction which can generate this squeaking noise. Bear in mind to examine by going under your vehicle the condition of the paint on your bar which will indicate if there is friction. Second possible point, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dried out and provoke noise, in which case remove them from the cradle and grease them, this should resolve the problem.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last case that we can examine together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks operate as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the vehicle, a pronounced fatigue of these will make 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 Peugeot Rcz. To swap them go to your technician.
Other speed bump noise Peugeot Rcz
If, even though all its assumptions, you still can’t find the source of the noise your Peugeot Rcz makes when you pass a speed bump, we encourage you to refer to this content on a loud noise on Peugeot Rcz or to visit your mechanic in order to carry an in-depth check on your Peugeot Rcz and identify this problem.
