chrisday1990 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 it sounds like hard plastic knocking against hard plastic - its a single knock. *Seems* to come from under car RHS between driver and engine bay, It happens only on speed bumps. Its an annoying hard-plastc-on-plastic type knock that can just be heard when driving along at lower speeds over big speed bumps. Almost like something is flapping loose and hitting against something with little provocation... I've taken the covers off the battery and power steering pods. I've also removed the plastic under tray from the engine. Any ideas on places i can check..? it's slowly driving me nuts Quote
TT350 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Could be wheel bearing or anti roll bar drop links. This was happening on mine and was a wheel bearing. I'd replaced all ARB droplinks. It's happening again on the left side now lol. 1 Quote
chrisday1990 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks TT350_ worst case how much would wheel bearings be to replace? Quote
ZEUS Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) It could be one of the banana arms knocking. Edited May 19, 2015 by ZEUS Quote
TT350 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks TT350_ worst case how much would wheel bearings be to replace? Also like zeus says, could be banana arm. Erm it cost me IIRC close to 500 quid at Nissan main dealer. Probably knock 200 off that for a private garage. Get it up on a ramp and check the ARB'S and see if there's any play in anything. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Take the ARBs off and see if you've still got the noise ... sounds to me like a classic case of B A N A N A B A R I T I S which will cost £250 per side plus fitting Quote
