ZedGreg Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 After having the car for just over a year now and experiencing some of the different wear-related noises, i thought it'd be a good idea to start a thread where we can explain various noises and the possible culprits. I've found some are easy to find, other's not so. The aim of the thread is to essentially provide a list of the common areas to explore when trying to locate a noise. Please add to it or edit where you see fit. Clicky axle - occurs when coming off or on to the accelerator - a sort-of clunking noise - search for clicky axle fix. Banana/compression arm - a knocking when going over bumps - bush failure, replace bush or entire arm. Drop links - a knocking noise when going over bumps - joint failure, replace drop links. 1 Quote
MDMetal Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 the bananas are a deeper clunk while the drop links are a higher pitch sound Quote
Willsy1980 Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Creaky/clunk on Roadsters when crawling off curbs or over speed humps Mine seems to be the rubber bungs in the door shuts, cured with wd-40 after every wash just rub some on the end and on the body with a microfibre. 1 Quote
