Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

So problem number one............

There is a knocking noise from the rear when I brake or put the car in reverse. The best way I can describe is like backlash from within rear driveline, a bit like a weight being pushed forwards then going backwards. Its not a harsh noise.

I have had this problem ever since I have owned the car.

It does not happen all the the time but I would like to get rid of this pesky issue.

Im thinking the rear diff is the culprit.

Anyone have any thoughts?

How olds the diff, could be getting play in it and you're hearing the slop as it goes from forward to reverse and back again

I don't know about Cusco.

What I do know is that most 1.5 / 2 way jap diff tend to be a bit tough and clunky (friction plates)

With helical there is none of that and therefore is just smoother and runs quieter

Diffs are a bridge i'll have to cross at some point soon-ish i think.

You'll have to re get your exemption won't you?

Also, I have a hard decision to make. GC hinterland or Mt Nebo

Up tambo, down tambo, up Oreilleys... ah f**k this roadworks and the 1 lane road, back down Oreilleys, up tambo, down tambo...

Stopped in at Cedar creek on the way back down too, i think i'll have to bring boardies and a towel next time.

If I had today off I would come with you Pete

I'm not sure my car's good enough to be seen with yours (once you get it finished at least!)

probably one of the most underated mods you could do IMO.

Will do front one too after my bank account recovers.

Zac will be busy.

Well she is kinda finished. I'm even taking it with me to work FTM.

Just need to respray rear bar.

My car would be fine with yours or any other Nissan. Just no commodores

    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
    • That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
