Dazgards Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hi, im not the best with cars and wondered is someone could help me before I take mine to a garage. Ive got a fiesta titanium 63 plate and every time I go over steep bumps around 10-15mph I hear a scratching noise and it louder if I go over them a little faster. Can anyone help please. Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 It could be the plastic baffles under the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 No need I reckon. Plastic bits are always scratching bumps, engine undertrays are the common one. May I suggest going over bumps slower or allow one wheel to go over the bumps, obviously either the bumps are too high or your car is too low. Have you had it lowered from standard?

It only happens in the more square bumps than the more rounded ones if that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 If you're able to, park it half on a high kerb and have a look under the front, you might find one corner of the plastic undertray is hanging down. I see loads of cars with them hanging off and wonder how the drivers don't notice lol! I there's nothing hanging down then just ignore it, won't be doing any harm, undertrays are always scuffed and scraped. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jacked it up and there's nothing hanging off but I did see lots of scratches on the plastic bit so guessing that's what's making the noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garryboy1888 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Squeak and grating noise over speed bumps in winter. I'd put my house on it being Anti roll bar bushes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh123 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Is it a scratching noise or creaking? It could be the bushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
