Hi all, I'm starting to get concerned; when driving my lcr, over small bumps i get a hissing sound (gas release?) from my suspension. The larger the bump the more pronounced the hissing sound. Going in a multistory carpark the noise is so loud! I'm concerned this could affect any number of things can anyone please shed some light on this for me?
Thanks:(

To be honest, I'd be worried if the sound goes away. To me it's the sign of working suspension, I've only ever had it just after fitting new shock absorbers.

As above mate, it's just the sound of the dampers compressing. The stock suspension, although the 'Sport' version, is still pretty soft and every car I've had (except my Metro with hydrolastic-majig) makes this sound to some degree over speedbumps.
