Finding out noises from your auto frequently is never comforting, so hearing noises on your Suzuki Across suspensions when you pass a speed bump can be disturbing. This symptom may be a sign of a insignificant trouble as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. In any case, it is necessary to check the source and take the necessary actions to eliminate the trouble, it is with this objective in mind that we wanted to write this document to help you see more clearly. We will first see the possible reasons for a crack when the speed bump passes, then, 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 Suzuki Across
Check Suzuki Across suspension
If you experience a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Suzuki Across, and it is categorized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly possible that your suspension block is the cause 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 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 circulate over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of replacing them quickly or you may affect other parts and have to make more important maintenance.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have researched for “Suzuki Across 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 Indeed, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust builds up inside them their working is degraded and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion.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 turn at low speed. If it cracks in these two circumstances you should consider changing it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Suzuki Across, don’t hesitate to consult this article.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you recognise a suspension noise when your Suzuki Across 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 case, 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 check it, place 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 resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Remember to take your vehicle to your mechanic 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 pass a speed bump with your Suzuki Across, it is possible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is concerned. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause uncommon friction which can create this squeaking noise. Bear in mind to check by passing under your automobile the condition of the paint on your bar which will tell us if there is friction. Second possible point, 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 trouble.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last possibility that we can check together, it is the engine silentblocks, actually, these silentblocks operate as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the auto, a pronounced weakness of these will generate a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may happen that a squeaking noise appears when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Suzuki Across. To replace them go to your auto mechanic.
