Apologies if this has been done to death and 100% diagnosis cant be made without looking/hearing but heres my problem.
Ive noticed recently that over fairly rough to rough surfaces (they are all rough in Cheltenham) my Bongo has started making a rumbly knocking noise from where seems the front drivers side suspension.
Front drop links were replaced last year.
Do i have a claim too seeing as it happened after being at the bash?!
No loose stuff knocking around inside either.
Many thanks

Re: Suspension noises
Hi,
I had a set of droplinks go a year after fitting! The rubber had perished. Also if you didnt replace the ARB bushes on their mounts this could be/also be a source of noise.
cheers,
Steve

Re: Suspension noises
Hi
Ah...knocks and bumps...I've developed an "ear" for them...usually ball-joints/ wishbone bushings and droplinks / anti -rollbar bushes...jack it up and wield a crowbar on the suspect areas to see what moves....

In the beginning there was nothing , then God said "Let there be Light".....There was still nothing , but ,by crikey, you could see it better.
