Blackie Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I have a harsh banging noise from the rear left quarter everytime I go over a bump. It sounds metalic and quite loud, sounds like it's possibley from the top of the rear quarter. Is there a common fault or any ideas what it might be? Bloke in the garage can't see any problems but can hear it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Suspension bushes/ball joints? You think?? Wish I thought of that lol there must be ten different linkages under there, just wondering if there's a common one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Lol well you didnt imply that in your post Dont know if theres a common one as such, but the upper arms are always a good starting point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 I was thinking strut tops but do they really go that offen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Easy to check mate, just have a look at the top mount. Youre best to get it off the ground and have a good look around all the suspension bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 What's the chance of a spring snapping? I'd see it wouldent I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Ellis has just been through that, had 3 go. Fairly easy to spot if you know what to look for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Slow down and consider using lubricants lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 There are a lot of things back there that it could be, you really need to get it on a ramp and thoroughly checked over, the first thing I'd check is that all the subframe and suspension arms bolts are properly torqued up.

Someone mentioned that today, I recently had an LSD fitted so possibly could be not torked up right?

Scooter Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 as it's only the one side you could switch the springs and shocks over and see if the noise follows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Droplink would be my first check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
