Rear squeak/knock/some kind of noise :)

Post by Caretta » Sun Nov 02, 2014 10:15 pm

What ho me little darlings...half term has finally given me some time to check out some maintenance bits on Nanny Ogg and having sorted out a few bits there she has decided to take offence to us fixing all her little ways of communicating with us... :roll:

To get to the point - she has developed a new squeak/knock at the rear which happens mainly when going round a sharp turn but it is a bit inconsistent.

I checked out the exhaust quickly and had a look at the rear shocks but couldn't find anything immediately untoward...though it could be the brakes but I would have expected them to make some kind of noise when using the brakes and there is none

I am looking at getting her suspension done all round at the same time as we get the brakes done and want to sort out this noise before we get her rust-protected...

Any ideas would be really great! :D

Those would be first on my list of investigations also: Droplinks, anti-roll bar bushes and u-shape anti-roll bar metal brackets.
