The front and rear suspension of Vesta differs significantly from the one that AVTOVAZ used on Grant, Priora, Kalina, etc. All the reviews tell us that the new chassis design is better than before. However, during the first months of operation, the owners began to notice extraneous noises (knocks, creaks, rattles, crunches) in the front and rear suspensions of Vesta, which occur when driving over speed bumps or other road irregularities...
Grinding, creaking in the front suspension
A dull sound, as if the racks are touching the plastic, or a creaking sound reminiscent of rubber friction. The reason is the poor quality of the stabilizer bushings (No. 8) or insufficient lubrication of the muffler mounts.
Question to AvtoVAZ: When will the problem of squeaking bushings be resolved? New cars from October-November continue to creak.
Answer: Improvements were introduced (replacement of rubber, lubricant) at the end of November 2016.

The front and rear suspension of Vesta differs significantly from the one that AvtoVAZ used on Grant, Priora, Kalina, etc.
All the reviews tell us that the new chassis design is better than before.
However, during the first months of operation, the owners began to notice extraneous noises (knocks, creaks, rattles, crunches) in the front and rear suspensions of Vesta, which occur when driving over speed bumps or other road irregularities...
The engine is the holy of holies of any car, and therefore, when extraneous sounds begin to be heard from under the hood, car owners immediately sound the alarm and try to figure it out.
Problem
As sad as it is to realize, West owners are not spared this problem either. Many owners notice knocking noises under the hood of the Lada Vesta, and they come from the right side.
As a rule, you don’t have to search for long, since the situation is well known. It appears on sedans that were equipped with engine mounts from the VAZ 21129. As a result, a whole cacophony of sounds began to be heard from the engine compartment, including knocks, clicks, squeaks, etc. Moreover, these sounds are so loud that they can be heard even in the cabin.
The knock from the support is quite loud
And the best confirmation of this is numerous videos in which owners of the domestic model demonstrate trouble.
And in this video you can hear knocks directly inside the car.
In addition, some owners began to “dig deeper” and found out that a similar situation occurs not only on Vesta, but also on other models of the Renault-Nissan Alliance. In particular, on the Nissan Qashqai. This is also confirmed in the video.
As for the Lada X-Ray, the hatchback has not noticed such a problem, even though its engines are the same as those on the sedan. The whole point is that X-Ray is equipped with different supports for the power unit.
Solution options
In fact, there are several of them.
In the event of a visit to the dealer, there is, as a rule, no clear solution to the issue of knocking from under the hood of the Lada Vesta. It all depends on the specific salon.
Some centers simply refuse to replace them, citing the fact that this is not a warranty case.
Others sent information about the defect directly to AvtoVAZ, but this is a rather lengthy procedure, and therefore not everyone agrees to wait that long. And the answer is not always positive.
Many dealers refuse to replace the airbag under warranty.
However, some owners note that they had reinforced supports installed, after which the problem disappeared.
The time that has passed since the first Lada Vesta rolled off the AvtoVAZ assembly line was quite enough for the owners to leave objective reviews about this car. In particular, readers are interested in the reliability and maintainability of the front and rear suspension. Vesta's handling has truly become a legend.
Even many skeptics were forced to admit the fact that the domestic auto industry had finally provided a model capable of competing with budget versions of German and Korean manufacturers.
The fly in the ointment in the overall picture is periodic complaints about extraneous noises and knocks that appear at fairly low mileage rates.
On the other hand, there are unpleasant facts when specialists and representatives of the official dealer are engaged in elementary “pumping out funds” without finding the cause of the malfunction.
Therefore, the basics of basic suspension diagnostics and the possibility of self-repair should be known to the owner of a domestic car, at least for now.
Even an amateur can recognize extraneous noises that appear in his own car, because an unfamiliar sound is always clearly audible against the background of the familiar “ensemble.”
Knocks and noises in the chassis of the car should not plunge the owner into a state of shock, because all components are repairable, but it is necessary to urgently diagnose and fix problems, since the condition of the suspension is not only driving comfort, but also road safety.
Extraneous noise can be produced by rubber with a hard tread or with a broken cord. A wheel bearing that has become unusable has similar symptoms. During the off-season, the accumulated dirt that gets between the brake disc and pads disturbs the ears.
Knocks have a different nature and appear in different situations. The cause of such an unpleasant phenomenon may be a faulty stabilizer link or bushing, a failed ball joint or support bearing. Let us analyze in detail the diagnostic methods and methods for troubleshooting the Lada Vesta.
If an inexperienced driver does not notice such a malfunction immediately, then over time he will still have to think about diagnostics, since this noise increases all the time.
In particularly advanced cases, the whine of the bearing can be heard in the cabin and can drown out other sounds.
Diagnostics
In order to make sure that the bearing is faulty, and at the same time determine from which side the sound is coming, it is enough to accelerate on the highway to 50 km/h, make sure that there are no other road users in front or behind, and make oscillating movements of small amplitude with the steering wheel while steering the car then to the right, then to the left.
When it rotates, a noise is heard - change the bearing.
View full version : Steering wheel tapping during small irregularities
There were knocking noises when driving over small irregularities! especially noticeable on crushed stone! The knocking is not constant and apparently at a certain steering wheel position! It was the same on both Kalina and Grant! nothing changed! :pissed-off: does anyone know what to do with this?

I know: find out what is knocking and replace it with something that doesn't knock! And if the car is still under warranty, provide this action to the service center.
The rack taps. Apply for warranty!!!

Suspension creaks on bumps in front
The front and rear suspension of Vesta differs significantly from the one that AvtoVAZ used on Grant, Priora, Kalina, etc. All the reviews tell us that the new chassis design is better than before. However, during the first months of operation, the owners began to notice extraneous noises (knocks, creaks, rattles, crunches) in the front and rear suspensions of Vesta, which occur when driving over speed bumps or other road irregularities...Problems with noise and squeaking from the rear of the car
The increasing grinding noise of the front suspension of the Lada Vesta is especially worrisome, because the main load is concentrated here, the steering and braking systems are located, the condition of which must always correspond to the norm.
A front-wheel drive car, as in our case, is prone to problems with the nose.
Inspection of the front suspension.
The very first cause of the malaise is considered to be an unfinished design of polyurethane stabilizer bushings, which almost immediately begin to make groaning sounds when driving through plump speed bumps. In wet weather he begins to moan constantly, which is very exhausting.
This problem can be corrected in several ways, radical and not so radical:
- Replacement of pillows with analogues from Chevrolet Niva or other suitable foreign cars.
- Regular application of mastic to places where polyurethane rubs against metal.
- Wait until AvtoVAZ corrects the defect, inviting everyone to the service station for a replacement.
The problem with squeaks in the front suspension can be solved by replacing the stabilizer bushings with polyurethane.
What else could be wrong with stabilizers? The design has a strut that is attached to the shock absorber body and the cross member of the stabilizer itself. It has two fingers as fastening. Without diagnostics at a service station, it will not be easy to figure out whether there is a breakdown in this unit, but you can try.
Dealers replace stabilizer links free of charge. But sometimes you have to butt heads!
The problem with the struts is not far-fetched, since in April 2022, official representatives of AvtoVAZ reported that they knew that after just a few thousand kilometers Vesta was already detecting knocking and squeaking noises from this particular unit. This important element experiences special stress and wears out prematurely.
Replacement of squeaking elements at the dealer should be free of charge. All questions can be resolved by calling the hotline!
However, all car owners who complain about the performance of the struts during the warranty period will have them completely replaced at the dealership free of charge.
So, if the warranty has expired, you will have to try to solve the problem yourself. The replacement process is simple. After inspecting the removed parts, you can decide whether to replace the entire mechanism or limit yourself to a repair kit.
Quite often, extraneous squeaks are caused by brake calipers.
There are isolated cases where the following types of breakdowns have occurred over time:
- The silent blocks of the steering gear levers require replacement, which are extremely inconvenient to remove.
- Brake calipers may gradually begin to click, replacing the pins may solve this problem.
- A small play appears in the place where the strut cups are attached to the body, associated with wear on the threads of the mounting bolts.
Creaking from the rear of the car Malfunctions can also manifest themselves as a knocking sound in the rear suspension when driving over uneven surfaces or a creaking noise from the rear. All these sounds signal a problem that needs to be solved. In order to remove it, as recommended by the factory, it is necessary to cut out the gasket and install it on the upper shock absorber support. This will eliminate knocking in the Lada Vesta suspension.
Poorly spun wheels can crunch and squeak. This often occurs on other car models and is caused by the car owner’s carelessness when changing wheels. It is urgent to stop and tighten the wheels.
Poorly packed items in the trunk of a car can make knocking and crunching noises. Before trying to eliminate suspension squeaks, you should empty the trunk of all unnecessary things and drive the car.
If there are no extraneous sounds, then the issue is resolved. Sources of extraneous noise from behind can also be minor problems, but to eliminate them you need to know them:
- The handbrake cable is not secured, just tighten the tie;
- The trunk lid dampers may make different sounds; they should be lubricated with silicone grease;
- With increased play, the trunk lid begins to rattle; lubricate and eliminate the play;
- The locks of the rear seat back may squeak, just lubricate and wrap a little electrical tape;
- Things are poorly packed in the trunk.
As a rule, you don’t have to search for long, since the situation is well known. It appears on sedans that were equipped with engine mounts from the VAZ 21129. As a result, a whole cacophony of sounds began to be heard from the engine compartment, including knocks, clicks, squeaks, etc. Moreover, these sounds are so loud that they can be heard even in the cabin.
Problem with the Lada Vesta stabilizer link
After the warranty replacement of the front suspension ball joint on the Lada Vesta sedan, we were sent to a four-point lift to adjust the camber and toe angles. On this lift, the suspension and wheels are supported by the weight of the vehicle. As a result, service technicians were able to determine the second cause of the knocking noise in the front suspension. The left stabilizer link had play. A similar problem with the front suspension of the Lada Vesta car is very popular, so it can be attributed to a factory defect. There have already been a lot of videos on the Internet from owners of the Lada Vesta sedan who have experienced play in the stabilizer link. Automotive journalists hoped that the Kazakh official Lada service station would immediately replace the left stabilizer bar under warranty. However, it turned out that this spare part is not included in the mandatory supply kits of spare parts to the warehouses of official dealers. It had to be ordered and waited. And since automotive journalists were in a hurry to return to Russia, they did not do this.

Right from the cabin there is a knocking noise from the left front on small bumps. Made an appointment for 21.06. Stub racks with plastic at the back. I'll post later.
I visited the dealer today and they told me to pick it up in 15. They said that the subframe would not last. As I drove out of the gate I heard the same knock. I went for a ride with an engineer. He does not hear anything, and if there is anything, then this is normal operation of the suspension. Bitches. I went into the store and talked to the senior salesman. We got into the test car again for a ride. Same thing, dull knock on the right. He hears. He says that all the cars are Crosses, that he drove from a car transporter, they all make noise. The road behind them is really bad. Doesn't know how to treat. This knock gets me. One installed spacers on the drive and supposedly everything went well, the other writes that he talked to him and nothing happened. But the guy also suffered https://www.drive2.com/r/lada/488171069178380367/.

I don’t know what can be said about this problem, of course it exists, since they write about it, but yesterday I drove 12 km along such a gear crusher that my palms lost sensitivity after just a couple of kilometers, but I didn’t hear any special knocks, Before that, I periodically drove along this road in a Volkswagen Passat and Mitsubishi Outlander. The Passat walked along it without any particular complaints, but the Outlander with its stiff, stool-like suspension mumbled much more loudly.. We also have “special” tram rails, I think any driver from Nsk knows this place)) But there’s nothing on them either I don't hear the military man
Any knocking noise in the car while driving is not only an irritating factor, but also a possible consequence of a malfunction that can have serious consequences. Especially the clatter of the front suspension, which includes the steering system, the most effective front brakes and is loaded with the weight of the engine.
conclusions
If the service life of some units has come to an end, then they need to be replaced urgently, since one breakdown can lead to others, and the entire mechanism will go into disarray.
If we return a little to squeaks, then with significant fatigue of the ball joints, steering tip and rack, failure of the shock absorber, or its broken supports, unnatural irritating sounds may appear. Then it is best to go for a diagnosis and then treat the problem.
Despite the fact that a modern car is not only a high-tech vehicle and is manufactured to the most advanced standards. Even they have problems. These faults can manifest themselves as a knocking sound in the front suspension of the Lada Vesta.
Although the suspension turned out to be successful, malfunctions periodically arise, which the manufacturer analyzes and makes recommendations for eliminating squeaks in the Lada Vesta. They may appear as extraneous sounds or knocks.
Other possible causes of knocking from the front suspension of Lada Vesta
The causes of knocking or creaking from the front suspension, characteristic of the Lada Vesta, were listed above. But, besides them, there are a number of malfunctions that are common to all brands of cars, but appear after different mileage. This is wear of ball joints, silent blocks, steering rods, failure of shock absorbers, play in CV joints.
The elimination of these problems is carried out not in a recommendatory, but in a mandatory manner, because knocking and crunching in the front suspension of the Lada Vesta are only in the last place factors of discomfort; first of all, it is a consequence of malfunctions, a delay in eliminating which can have tragic consequences.
Defects of Lada
Lada Vesta has recently rolled off the assembly line and not all warranty workshops have experience in solving problems on how to eliminate knocking noises that occur in the suspension. The manufacturer constantly maintains contact with the service station and makes changes to the design. Let's consider possible malfunctions and methods for eliminating them in the front suspension of the Lada.
Car enthusiasts may be disappointed by a new car almost immediately. An unpleasant creaking and knocking sound appears when passing speed bumps. Upon analysis, it turned out that the problem was in the stabilizer bar bushings.
It is not recommended to lubricate them with grease; they will stop squeaking, but for a very short period of time, so they only need to be changed. They can be replaced with polyurethane ones from Niva Chevrolet. The bushing has catalog number 17012680. After replacement, the squeaking sound disappears.
You should know that these are not all problems; a characteristic knocking sound may occur from the front right.
This is typical when there is increased play in the right ball joint. Replacement is carried out together with the suspension arms assemblies. AvtoVAZ supplies them complete with a ball joint. Front suspension of the Lada Vesta The main defects that occur in the front part of the Vesta car, which may cause the car to creak or rattle:
- Grinding noise in the anti-roll bar;
- The right ball joint is faulty, it starts knocking;
- The stabilizer links begin to rattle.
It is recommended that all these defects be repaired at AvtoVAZ dealerships.
When driving on an uneven road, you hear a dull knock on small bumps or a sound reminiscent of rubber friction. This problem can be eliminated by lubricating the Vesta muffler mounting with grease. Vesta's front suspension creaking may be due to worn struts.
Identifying the cause of knocking from the front suspension of Lada Vesta
After 15,000 kilometers, a knock began in the front suspension of the Lada Vesta. Mechanics from an official service station in Kazakhstan were able to identify the cause of this knocking noise. It turned out that the right ball joint was loose. This case of breakdown is covered by warranty. However, the ball joint does not change separately; all the suspension arms that are supplied with the ball joint are replaced with it. It is worth noting that in almost the majority of new car models in the world with a McPherson front suspension, the ball joint is assembled with all the levers. Fortunately, a copy of the right ball joint was found in the warehouse of the official service station. It turns out that this spare part is required so that the dealer can service Lada Vesta cars.
When replacing the right ball joint of the front suspension of a Lada Vesta, it turned out that for this task it was necessary to remove the right side member of the subframe. This is necessary to remove the bolt securing the front silent block of the lever. Then, when installing a new ball joint, the front silent block of the lever did not want to be installed in its place. The problem was solved by unscrewing the hub nut and disconnecting the axle shaft. After this, the shock absorber strut was released, which made it possible to move the lever into its mounting location. Later it turned out that instructions for replacing the ball joint of the front suspension are given in the general operating instructions for the Lada Vesta from AvtoVAZ. It’s just that for the servicemen of the Kazakh Lada service station, the Lada Vesta sedan was the first in which the first maintenance was carried out and the ball joint was replaced.
How the body is made
Let's admit: the Lada Vesta, which is attractive in our opinion, is very well assembled in terms of its bodywork. The measured gaps are everywhere at the level of a couple of millimeters. Well, the softness and silence with which the doors close are completely worthy of applause. And everything would be absolutely wonderful if we had not started studying the car from below.
In general, of course, there is no “crime”. The first thing that caught my eye was the sloppiness of the anti-corrosion treatment, in the category of “we’ll apply it here, but it’ll do just fine.” It can be seen that some areas were treated over the protective film, which was then torn off along with the protection. Moreover, in the same place it was done with completely different quality (carefully and clumsily).
An incident was discovered under the hood - at the factory, a piece of paper was attached to one of the side members with tape, apparently with an example of a color called “platinum”, in which it was necessary to paint the car from the inside. Actually, they painted this piece of paper, forgetting to tear it off - naturally, there was a stripe under it without painting.
Another point is the accuracy of internal bends and connections of individual body parts. Between some of them there are considerable technological holes into which, of course, dirt, salt and road chemicals will get clogged. Considering that some of these connections have not been exposed to anticorrosive agents, they are likely to become centers of corrosion, especially in the wheel arches.
Knocks, crunching in the rear suspension
In the rear suspension, knocking is eliminated according to AvtoVAZ's instructions. It is necessary to remove the rear shock absorber strut and place a washer under the upper support (No. 5).
It is worth noting that after such modification, a gap appears between the support and the body, into which dirt can get in. To eliminate this, it is recommended to install a gasket according to the following dimensions:
Other sources of extraneous noise from the rear:
- handbrake cable (fasten to ties);
- trunk lid dampers (lubricate with silicone grease, loosen);
- trunk lock (lubricate the lock, eliminate play);
- in the area of the rear support, pull the bump stop down along the strut rod (pull it out of the support sleeve), spray silicone spray into the support sleeve and put the bump stop in place.
- rear seat back locks (lubricate, apply electrical tape).
- things or tools in the trunk.
How to diagnose the Vesta suspension yourself. If the rear knock only appears when braking, then this is a different case.
If you encounter a similar problem, we recommend contacting your personal manager. Have you noticed the appearance of knocks or creaks in the Vesta suspension? How did you manage to get rid of them? Leave your reviews and recommendations in the comments.
Let us remind you that another drawback of this sedan is associated with the creaking of the glass seals. Other instructions for tuning and modifying the new Lada can be found in this category.
Self-diagnosis of problems
If there is a knocking sound in the steering wheel or the Vesta suspension rattles, you should immediately contact the dealership.
If this is not possible, you can diagnose and identify problems yourself. To do this, just hang up the Lada wheels and do the following work:
- Let's rock the wheels in different planes; if play is felt when the brake pedal is released, this indicates that the hub bearing has failed;
- If there is a problem with the suspension, play is felt regardless of whether the brake pedal is pressed or released;
- If the ball joint is defective or the strut is poorly secured, play is felt in the vertical plane;
- Failed tie rod ends are accompanied by play in the horizontal plane.
Thus, it becomes clear why the front suspension of the Lada Vesta creaks. It is not recommended to drive with such defects; if they are detected, you must contact a service station. And at the dealership they will conduct a full diagnostic of the chassis and not only give recommendations on how to eliminate the crunching sound in the front suspension, but will also carry out the repair work in a qualified manner.

Loose wheel bolts
The situation when the fastening bolts of one or several wheels have become loose is typical not only for Lada Vesta, but occurs frequently. There can be many reasons - from inattention during tire fitting to an unsuccessful attempt to steal a wheel.
If a knocking sound occurs while driving, the first step is to perform the most accessible action - stop the car and check the tightness of the wheel bolts, since a tire that falls off while turning can cause the car to roll over with unpredictable consequences. In this case, diagnostics is inseparable from troubleshooting.
After tightening the bolts or making sure that the reason for the knocking is not their tightening, you can continue driving. If the problem is not solved, you should not put off diagnosis for a long time. In order not to aggravate the situation when one malfunction causes another, it is strongly recommended to contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible for qualified diagnosis and elimination of the causes of knocking or other abnormal suspension noises performed on a car raised by a lift.
Wear of stabilizer bushings
If, when driving over a speed bump, a dull knock or squeak is heard from the front, there is a high probability that the reason for this is premature wear, due to the poor quality of the material, of the standard anti-roll bar bushings of the Lada Vesta - a malfunction typical of the VAZ sedan. In this case, other signs corresponding to the assumption should be present:
- knocking of the chassis when the car rolls while moving;
- beating in the steering wheel when driving on a flat surface at speeds above 60 km/h;
- increased play in the steering mechanism during intensive maneuvering;
- involuntary deviation of the car from straight-line movement.
The final conclusion will be made by inspecting the car on a car lift - if the bushings are swollen, have lost their geometry and elasticity, then they need to be replaced.
Recommendations from repairmen
Reliability and long service life of the suspension are among the priority characteristics of the car. Even at the design stage, engineers set the task of developing a suspension that would be maximally adapted for domestic roads.
The result turned out well; the design even caused delight and surprise among some car enthusiasts. The average resource of suspension elements exceeds 100,000 km. Despite a number of positive aspects, there is always a fly in the ointment.

Knocks in the rear suspension
Judging by the reviews of car owners, Renault left Vesta a legacy of fairly rapid wear and tear of the silent blocks of the rear beam. They begin to bother you already at the third ten thousand kilometers. Another reason for knocking noises can be the destruction of the shock absorber support.
Diagnostics
Diagnosing a problem with a car's rear suspension is not easy, despite its simple design. The difficulty lies in the massiveness of the parts, so full diagnostics can only be carried out on a special lift.
Under the hood
The main problems: chafing pipes, rattling engine lining, have already been fixed in new batches. In mine, I filed down the notch so that the breather would not rub. The engine mount is also knocking. The treatment is simple - spray with silicone grease, and temporarily listen to silence or change the pillow. The manual transmission is not quiet, and the robot's actuator dries out lubricant, and it begins to creak when the gas is pressed, especially in the heat.
The canister valve still clicks loudly - it’s better not to touch it, it won’t get any quieter. The lion's share of knocks on my Lada Vesta comes from the resonator and plastic pipe.
What broke on the Lada Vesta in a month.
For the test, a piece of material was inserted for gluing sound insulation. You cannot completely remove the resonator - it is needed to dampen the sound. Although some people throw it away. It knocks because of the metal mounting bracket or pipe. It is frayed or installed loosely. The dealer contacted the factory - this is not a warranty issue. A new resonator with a pipe assembly in the cabin costs 1,500 rubles. They advised to wrap it with electrical tape. Draw your own conclusions about AvtoVAZ’s attitude towards consumers.

Wear of stabilizer link joints
When diagnosing stabilizer bushings, as a rule, all elements of the front suspension are inspected and, first of all, the vertical struts of the anti-roll bar (article no. 8450006750), which also often fail in Lada Vesta.
Lada Vesta produces standard stabilizer bars. These parts are of fairly high quality, but they also have their own resource, which depends on many factors. The degree of wear of the vertical struts is determined by the presence of play in their hinges - if the struts knock when the stabilizer is suddenly manually moved, they need to be replaced. Knowing the length of the struts (283 mm), you can select even better parts for replacement, for example, from Toyota or Hyundai.
