My 4x4 Saph has developed a knocking noise coming from the rear of the car. The noise is a clonking when you take up and come off drive. It has done this for a while now but i,m sure its getting worse. It definately sounds like there is a lot of slack being taken up somewhere but i,m not sure where.

Its too bloody hot to start messing about under there at the moment so does anyone want to hazard a guess at the likely cause

Any ideas would be helpfull, Cheers Gaz

 

mmm...i hear this strange nocking also (sometimes)...

i think its a nackered bush....but not for sure..

 

The back off mine is all poly bushed so i,ve pretty much discounted them

 

exahsut banging on the diff or passanger side trailing arm

 

No its definately more like slack being taken up somewhere,diff, driveshafts prop etc .

 

you checked your front prop?

 

It had a new one last year, still got the label on it .

 

center bearing dropped in bits?

backlash in the rear diff?

 

I was thinking it could be the diff Gonna be expensive what ever it is
