Discovering noises from your auto often is never comforting, so hearing noises on your PORSCHE PANAMERA suspensions when you pass a speed bump can be worrying. This symptom may be a sign of a minor problem as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. Whatever the case, it is essential to check the cause and take the necessary actions to solve the problem, it is with this aim in mind that we wanted to write this article to support you see more clearly. We will first see the possible reasons 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 PORSCHE PANAMERA
Check PORSCHE PANAMERA suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your PORSCHE PANAMERA, and it is characterized 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 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 examine if this is the problem that concerns you, take a dented road and focus on the noise coming from your front axle as you drive 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 maintenance.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have looked for for “PORSCHE PANAMERA 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 Indeed, when the cardan bellows get out of date and the dirt/dust builds up inside them their functions is degraded and it is possible to experience a sound when they are in torsion.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 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 make a 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 PORSCHE PANAMERA, don’t hesitate to consult this article.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you find out a suspension noise when your PORSCHE PANAMERA 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 adjust direction. If this is the situation, the components that may have been damaged by normal 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, place it under the vehicle and apply twists on each of its elements to examine that there is no particular play on one of them, they are expected to endure you quite strongly over their entire travel. Please remember to take your vehicle to your auto technician or change them if they are involved.
squeaky noise speed bump PORSCHE PANAMERA
Check the stabilizer bar
If, alternatively, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you pass a speed bump with your PORSCHE PANAMERA, 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 generate this squeaking noise. Bear in mind to examine by passing under your vehicle 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 dry and bring on noise, in which case take them out from the cradle and grease them, this should eliminate the problem.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last possibility that we can examine together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks process as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the auto, a evident fatigue of these will create a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may happen that a squeaking noise happens when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your PORSCHE PANAMERA. To change them go to your mechanic.
Other speed bump noise PORSCHE PANAMERA
If, despite all its assumptions, you still can’t locate the source of the noise your PORSCHE PANAMERA makes when you pass a speed bump, we encourage you to consult this content on a loud noise on PORSCHE PANAMERA or to visit your auto technician in order to carry an in-depth check on your PORSCHE PANAMERA and find this problem.
