Jonnybravo2667 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hi everyone got a annoying rattle from rear wheel when i hit a pothole. Had droplinks replaced wheel bearing replaced and still got rattle and a sound like somethings catching intermittently under the car but when i jack the car up and spin the wheel it doesnt make the scrapping noise. Its a N/A Auto and any ideas as to what it might be would be most helpful Thanks for any replies in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Have you checked your exhaust and mounts/heat shields? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnybravo2667 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Yep checked exhaust heat shields and mountings and everything fine there, checked the brake back plate thingy and that not catching either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 When you jacked it up, did you check all suspension arms? Using a bar or stout screwdriver to lever them and check for play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnybravo2667 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Not tried that yet mate but have replaced some bushes and the upper wishbone been replaced, it not anything to do with a drive shaft is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I wouldn't have thought so as that would be more clunking when moving off but check the bolts anyway while you're under the car Are your tailgate rubbers OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Double check your brakes too in case you have a spring missing or the caliper is loose (or if the slider pins are worn) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnybravo2667 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Will check brakes mates and tailgate rubbers are ok, thanks for your help will let you know when i find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Check the topmount bushes, and the spring isolator at the top. Also I've got lots of little stones trapped behind the fuel tank guard, thay cause a bit of racket when going over bumps. I havn't had a chance yet but I'm going to strip it and powder coat it.
