Reasons Behind Suspension Noises in your Porsche

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.
