clicking from driveline
« on: 04 April 2009, 14:19:58 »
lo chaps been a while.
did the normal sat shop and on the way out of the carpark i noticed a "clicking/clacking" noise from the car when not under power
by the time i got home it had increased in volume and was also happening albiet quieter whilst under engine load.
got her up on stands now and cannot see anything loose (thought maybe bolt on driveshaft was loose).
or could this be from the slush box? she has been starting to clunk into gear and changes arent the smoothest anymore
with thanks in advance

ok just read bigdods post ref handbrake
had another play with the old girl hand brake holds the car firm when pulled properly, took her out of drive and tried to turn the d/s wheel which turned very unhappily by the noises it was making,
the noise is consistent with vehicle speed.
going to order new shoes and pads and pull her to bits on monday hopefully this will be the cure if not i shall return!

Had a similar problem, the rear disc brake pad had become detached from the back plate. Good luck

couldnt wait so pulled her apart at the rear all brakes are fine H/B fine as well.
noise is not constant but dos match road speed not engine revs, still clanks in neutral but does not make any noise in reverse....
also clanked heavily on a down gear change.
right now thinking diff but....... :-?

I get a similar click clack noise between gears as a bit of slack in the diff winds and unwinds, how far can you turn a (back) wheel before prop shaft starts  turning?

Absolute maximum it should take.
( did you get a grinding/rumbling noise when you were applying brakes to slow down) :question

sorry for delay in posting £170 notes later (+£50 for the diff)
replacement diff fitted and the old girl has a new lease of life also to my surprise at least 70% of the speed judder (45mph-55mph and 95mph-105mph) has gone so possibly a trip to WIM may fix the rest have new wishbones ready to fit already
