Excessive rear wheel hop when going over bumps is primarily caused by a combination of suspension tuning, tire characteristics, and road conditions. When the suspension is too stiff or not properly damped, it can fail to absorb the impact effectively, leading to a bouncing motion. Additionally, worn-out components like shocks or springs can exacerbate this issue, while tire pressure, tread design, and grip can influence how the tires respond to uneven surfaces. Proper suspension setup and maintenance are key to minimizing this phenomenon.
It might be the CV joints. Go to a front suspension specialist and have it checked out.
it shakes to the right or left
incorrect tire pressure? misalignment? carrying excessive weight? Some causes could be: * poor alignment * incorrect tire pressure * bad wheel bearings * overloaded vehicle
Bad wheel bearing is one possibility.
Failure of the Power Steering system.
Failure of the power steering system.
Any bushing, if its worn or old enough, causes suspension squeaking at low speeds and when going over bumps. The typical cause of squeaking noises when turning the steering wheel is low power steering fluid. The power steering fluid reservoir should be checked and the fluid topped off if it is low. Fill your reservoir with manufacturer-specified fluid (or have your oil-change service station do it). With a very low fluid level, the whining sound will be accompanied by a difficulty in turning the wheel.
Incorrect wheel alignment, either excessive toe-in or toe-out. This can be solved by getting your wheels tracked.
Replace the Airbag/horn bracket in the steering wheel, rubber bushings are worn out,
Clunking/knocking sound felt though steering wheel and floor when turning and going over bumps at low speeds.
This means you have excessive pressure on one side of your power steering assembly. Your steering box may be worn out. Also, check your tie-rods for excessive play.
