Suspension cracking noise Renault Mascott
Check Renault Mascott suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Renault Mascott, and it is categorized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly possible that your suspension block is the origin of it. In fact, 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 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 circulate over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of changing them as soon as possible or you may ruin other parts and have to make more important fixes.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have looked for for “Renault Mascott 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 In fact, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust builds up inside them their functions is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion.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 make a turn at low speed. If it cracks in these two cases you should consider replacing it or them.

Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you recognise a suspension noise when your Renault Mascott 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 vary direction. If this is the case, the parts that may have been damaged by usual 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 vehicle and apply twists on each of its elements to verify that there is no special play on one of them, they are meant to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Keep in mind to take your Renault Mascott to your technician or replace them if they are involved.

Check the stabilizer bar
If, however, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you go over a speed bump with your Renault Mascott, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause uncommon friction which can generate this squeaking noise. Keep in mind to verify by going under your vehicle the condition of the paint on your bar which will show if there is friction. Second possible point, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dried out and cause noise, in which case take them off from the cradle and grease them, this should fix the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last possibility that we can verify together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks act as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the automobile, a evident weakness of these will make 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 Renault Mascott. To replace them go to your auto technician.
