Chevrolet Equinox stiff suspension and excessive road noise, particularly on highways on Chevrolet Equinox

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Equinox owners report experiencing a stiff ride, particularly in trims like the LTZ, which may be due to the use of lower profile tires and a sport-tuned suspension. Additionally, some Equinox EV owners have noted a "clunk" sound from the suspension when driving over bumpy roads at low speeds, which may be more pronounced due to the absence of an engine. Front suspension noise, characterized by a clunk or thump when traversing rough surfaces, has also been reported, especially when the suspension rebounds after hitting a pothole. Furthermore, the type of tires on the Equinox can influence road noise, with owners observing that noise levels vary significantly depending on the pavement surface. If you are facing these issues, consulting a mechanic or dealership may be advisable to address the concerns effectively.
