Fluke Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I noticed this morning a knocking or clicking sound coming from the drivers side rear wheel, I tried rocking the wheel to see if it was a bearing, but cant find anything, so will jack the car up and have a proper look when I get home. I did have a quick look underneath and didn't see anything loose, although I did notice the part pictured was heavily corroded and appears to be split. Can anyone tell me what it is and is it easily replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sorry, I don't know what that is, but isn't this about the 3rd one of these in a few weeks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluke Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 If it is bearings, how much is it likely to cost me to get both side done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Drop links or the renowned clicky rear axel problem maybe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluke Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 I get the noise only when the car is moving and sometimes it can be quite loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hmmm clicky rear axle noise is quite loud usually happens when pulling off from a stand still, changing direction from forwards to reverse least that's what I found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKeR Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I would say clicky axel mate but mine didn't do it all the time. Don't mean to offend but the handbrake was off when you checked the bearings yes? And that part; I have no idea however just take it off! I had that same problem a few months ago to that exact same part, I was corroding in my hands mate. I just pulled it off and the plastic part it's next to. Doesn't look important. Lol #weightreduction That's what she 'Zed' :-/ Edited April 28, 2015 by JoKeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluke Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 The clicking/knocking occurs even at low speed and over level ground its a regular sound I am sure I can feel it through the handbrake. I have been quoted £350 for both rear bearings to be replaced, which I intend getting done anyway as there is a slight rumble on the passenger rear.

Mate, PM ZManAlex and buy two second hand hub and bearings complete. About (£50-70 each). Then it's about an hour or two labour tops in any garage. Don't spend too much getting it done. I bought one from him an it cost me £60 to fit in a local garage I just told him what torque to do everything to. Hope this helps mate That's what she 'Zed' :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
