Does this sound like trailing arm trouble?

[Conan]

Get a weird grinding/knocking noise from the rear when i turn reasonably sharply and it was much worse yesterday when i had the boot loaded.

Does that sound like the rear trailing arms. The rear bushes are all brand new by the way

[magpie]

zaust play?

[Conan]

definaltely suspension based.

[magpie]

rear top mount?

has this just came about after a recent rear bush change?

[Conan]

yep changed all the bushes and this noise started?

[Dezzy]

Wheel bearing???

[Simon13]

suspension doesn't make grinding noises when its failed they knock and cause strange handling! could be a CV joint dying

[zaust]

zaust play?

Oi, I am short but it is not me !!!


If its a bearing you will find a bit of play in the wheel when you jack the car up. Could be a combination of exhaust knock and as Si said cv. Get it checked out properly.

[Conan]

ill stick it om a ramp and have a look then

[Simon13]

i would of thought jacking the back up and spining the wheels would tell alot, if its a grinding noise

[Kos]

is the spring located correctly ? it could be out of place and hitting the shaft.

seen this happen quite recently

[ucpsale]

Broken spring maybe?

[Kos]

any up date ?
