Reasons Behind Suspension Noises in your Porsche

Page 1


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.
