INSANITI Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 I got one of my mates to walk while i drove slowly over bumps. Trust me im as baffled as they are. We can here it but dont know where its coming from. Just from reading the link i posted above i thought i finally found it as no one really looked in there. Maybe i should cable tie myself to the suspension so i wouldnt have to ask and look stupid here.

Superpoo Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Get your mate to hop in the boot and jump up and down, if you can hear the noise you should get closer to where it originates from.

sonicii Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Are you sure the noise is only when driving over bumps, and not when you are accelerating/decelerating? There is the 'Axel click' issue, but will tend to be noticeable when accelerating from a stop or slow speed, or decelerating in gear.

INSANITI Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Superpoo - i think you have something there. i haven't tried that one yet. since the so called experts like pedders and a couple of big franchise mechanics couldn't pin point where its coming from I might give that a go. so i have ruled out suspensions, calipers, park brakes, sway bar links, sway bars, control arm bushings, exhaust, mufflers and heat shields. defintely not from the rims as i have a new set (it was doing it from the standard too). sonicii - yeah over bumps not all the time, like street humps over and off it and like on concrete roads where there is a gap for the next concrete block. Hardly (almost none) on asphalt... This used to happen on the right side but that one is completely gone the guys where i got it from had tried fixing it. but they just wouldnt give a time trying to do the other side and kept on saying its not gonna break the car! just frustrating sometimes!

scotty nm35 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Next service? What makes you think a service will fix it? Someone needs to pick up a spanner mate....

INSANITI Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Next service? What makes you think a service will fix it? Someone needs to pick up a spanner mate.... well because i have given up paying for getting the same answer. the next service which is back where i got the car from and because its on warranty i can bug them again with it to make another attempt to look at the problem.

INSANITI Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Update: Took it back again and finally they said the slack on the hand brake lever was hitting the plate behind the brake disc. They were saying the spring was loose as well. All they did was just cable tie the slack so it doesnt touch. Didnt hear a thing on the way home. So big smile on my face! 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/435734-rattling-noise-over-bumps-from-rear-of-car/page/2/#findComment-7166139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
