The best thing to do here is have a front end tech drive the car and listen to the noise.

Check sway bar. On some models as suspension sags, sway bar outer ends will contact the body, leaving a mark or dent just above the end, causing a bang over bumps. Only way to correct this is to change springs or add a spring lift.

SOURCE: Saab 93 - noisy when going over bumps on the road.

Have you tried driving over a bump whilst also applying the brakes? (Right foot on gas, left gently on brake - with no one behind you!) If the noise goes away, then it could be the brake pads that are not fitted correctly. Only posting this, as this just happened to mine...the mechanic took it over bumps and noise was there. Applied brakes whilst going over bump, noise went away. Replaced badly fitted rear pads (had been bodged by another garage) and the problem was solved.

I had a similar noise, I took apart the strut and the bushing on top of the strut was falling apart. Replaced it with a new one for under 100.00. No more noise.

I HAVE A 1993 ACURA INTEGRA GS 5 SPEED. I GET VIBRATION ACCELERATE AROUND 60 MPH. I CHANGED ALL BUSHINGS , SHOCKS, SPRINGS, PRETTY MUCH WHOLE NEW SUSPENSION?I GO OVER A SMALL SPEED BUMP, THE FRONT LEFT...

Sounds like it could be upper control arm bushings. Vibration at 60 will either be a tire that is out of balance or worn from driving with worn suspension components

I have a BMW 730i 2003 saloon.I have of late experienced knocking sounds when going over bumpy roads.I was advised to change tie rod ends,lower and upper control arms and stabiliser links and there ha

Hard to say without hearing it but check front stabiliser "d" bushes for wear & check all subframe bolts are tight. Does the noise stop if you press the brake lightly.

Front suspension making a thunk sound

The suspension on these vehicles fall apart. I would inspect the lower control arm bushing first. Look for cracks in rubber or for control arm hitting subframe at rear bushing. If Okay inspect Front strut and mount. Most likely this is the problem. Also inspect the stabilizer link pin for play

Rear knocking on uk 1999 impreza

Check the bottom Y shaped arm which holds the wheel steady not allowing it to move back or front. Once this play becomes more than half an inch, this starts making knocking sounds as if somebody is tapping on the chassis. This Y shaped arm has both arms attached to the chassis, each having a metal covered rubber bush. Change both bushes and the sound will vanish......................sodeep

Nissan primera squeeky noise from front suspension

Hi
I had the same problem. It cast me lot money in changing few things but finally found. The side where the noise comes from look fro the supension arm it is connecting the main suspensionto the body. You have to change that or find silicon oil and spray around the bushes of the arm.

good luck
