knocking sound over bumps · rattling over bumps
A clunk, knock or rattle heard from the suspension area whenever a wheel goes over a bump, pothole or uneven pavement.
A workshop can usually pinpoint this quickly by physically shaking the suspension components with the car on a lift.
Usually safe for daily driving short-term, but worn suspension parts affect handling and tire wear, so do not put it off indefinitely.
Describe your situation more precisely (e.g. exactly when it gets worse, how long it lasts) and get an expanded, personalized breakdown.
