I've started a few threads about rear suspension because I still can't pin point what is up with mine. It's a knock over rough ground under braking. I've been told to check calipers for loose bolts but they're fine. Also I was told to check the beam mounts but they were new 3 years ago. FYI i did a full beam rebuild 3 years ago. If it helps, the knock sounds like two pices of steel tapping against each other. ________________________________________ Team Diesel |

Knock over bumps particularly when cornering or braking or both is knackered beam mounts usually. Were they genuine pug ones or cheap ones? I've had cheap ones last 6 months before..... Genuine ones last years. However it's more Of a loud thudding from the back over bumps than a metali noise though. I've had a very similar noise on a beam when the Rubber ARB seals were completely fooked so the ARB jumps about and clangs against the beam tube. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

Would a mount thud not be more of a knock opposed to metal clanging together like the OP suggests?I had a metallic clanging and it was the bolt holding the ARB end flag on coming loose. ________________________________________  |
