Hi, my Mini Cooper s, 2 l is making strange noises when I cross speed humps. Both the front and back
undercarriage make the same "cluc-cluck" noises
This is not normal, mini tells me this is.
What should I do, and how do I define the fault?
Help me please.

The best approach is to have the steering and suspension systems inspected at a tire and alignment shop. They're experts at finding the causes of squeaks, rattles, and other noises and vibrations.

There is a tool you might be able to borrow or rent from an auto parts store that borrows them called the "Chassis Ear". It is a set of six microphones, a switch box, and headphones. You clip the microphones to suspect points, then drive around while listening with the headphones. You can move the microphones around to zero in on the source of the noise. Be aware that many mechanics have never seen or even heard of this tool. Suspension and alignment mechanics use it to find rattles, squeaks, and other noises.
