A common issue Porsche owners experience is suspension noise.
Your suspension system is a very important part of your Porsche.
Its purpose is to deliver steering stability and a smooth ride.
The suspension system can tolerate a large amount of stress.
Once they begin to fail, you may hear noises or begin to experience a rough ride.
Below are the most common noises you may hear when dealing with a faulty suspension system.
If you notice any of these, bring your Porsche into our shop for inspection and diagnostic testing.
SQUEALING: A squealing noise can be caused by worn out or damaged suspension bushings.
KNOCKING: A knocking noise when driving over bumps is probably due to worn-out shocks. RATTLING: A rattling noise can be caused by several different components. SOUND OF A RUSTY HINGE: If you hear such a noise, you likely have an issue with your ball joints.
Noises are a common sign that you have an issue with your suspension, but there are other symptoms.
SHOCK ABSORBERS OR STRUTS
Shock absorbers and struts reduce bouncing. If they happen to fail, your ride will become rough.
SPRINGS
Springs help hold the weight of your Porsche. When they fail, you may hear a clunking noise when driving over bumps.
ALIGNMENT
If your Porsche pulls to one side, then it is probably out of alignment. This will cause vibrations & your tires to wear unevenly.
CONTROL ARMS
The steering wheel is connected to the wheels by control arms. Failure can make handling your car difficult and your steering wheel may wobble.
BALL JOINTS
The ball joints are where your wheels attach to the suspension. If a ball joint breaks, it can cause catastrophic damage.
IMPROPER LUBRICATION
Squealing noises are often caused by unlubricated parts. The suspension components need to be lubricated to operate smoothly.
