| help slight knock im stumped |
|
hi guys its driving me crazy i cant find it , on my 07 hse td 170k ive got a sound and i cant find it , its not like a like a ball joint or any other suspension part or steering part
its a light weight sounding tap/knock maybe slight hollow sound ,
it seems to be mostly from nsf but some times it does seem like nsr, its got slowly more frequent over the last few weeks, , if i turn in my road which is a left hand turn with a incline so the nsf compresses and it always gives a one or two taps/knocks , and at lot of other low speed times,
jacked it up today to do a pre mot and checked all the brgs and went around shaking things and looking, nothing much to find , ive got the engine crap shield off at the mo i found a missing bolt in next shield back but it wasnt the issue ,
im hoping this rings a bell with one of you guys?
heres what ive done in last 6mths chasing other knocks and it all needed doing apart from the roll bar bushes and track rod ends they came with the tie rods
lower wishbones
upper wishbones
track rod ends & tie rods
front roll bar bushes
nsf drive shaft
lower steering column
calibrated the ride height
nsf wheel brg (cheap one ebay that has slight play at 2 months old! ) rubbish
thanks for your time

It could just be the wheel bearing.
Did you change the arb drop links? I also had one where the arb was worn very slightly 1/2 mm movement with new bushes which banged if you hit a pot hole. Andrew

I've never herd a wheel brg give a tap . But it's on right side . No I've not changed the drop links , I couldn't see any play in them , it' Almost sounds like something is floating rather than a fixed under load part
Bloody thing I love it and hate it

Check the rear near side brake cable is not rubbing on the tyre and where it goes through the supporting steel loop, the rubber shield (like a length of hose pipe) the cable is in wears away until the cable rattles on the supporting ring. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

have a look at the drop links i've had a few come loose after replacement you will need to look really hard as its quite difficult to get things to move due to the weight of these vehicles try jacking up on the wishbone then the chassis check both well  oh and dont bother with cheap wheel bearings i fitted one that had play even before i dropped it off the jack use timken if you can afford them you will only need to do it once please excuse any grammer/punctuation mistakes,i'm thick,thankyou
