Would anyone have an idea on this sound please, its coming from rear left/passenger side , I thought it might be a spring but bouncing the car when stationary doesn't make it happen??

 

Any ideas ? Wondering if it might be something to do with Anti roll bar...seems to happen more on a camber than a straight bump in the road.

TIA for any info

 

 

 

 

Sounds like a spring, easy to check as any broken piece will likely remain captive in suspension arm.

I had the garage look for problems but they didn't find anything.

 

Cheers

Thanks Mic

 

Had a good look today at both rear springs...can't see any sign of breakage...they look in good condition and felt solid to touch

This started immediatley after having the diff/haldex removed and serviced...

 

Spoke to them and in fairness they said bring it back we will check it out...went for a drive sure enough it made the noise...

up on the ramps could not find anything loose etc..

 

Now, a few weeks on, it is definately getting more regular, I suppose I am trying to avoid long winded diagnostic torture and lots of wasted ££££'s.

 

It definately sounds springy...could it be seated wrongly when refitting the diff's etc ??

 

TIA

It's not unknown for a spring to be fitted upside down despite a 'this way up' sticker.... Sheesh they walk among us, 80kg of monkey meat in a boiler suit!

 

If both you and the garage can't find the source you'll just have to carefully recheck all disturbed items in the previous operation.

 

What makes you think it's not the diff that's that's not the source? it could have been rebuilt incorrectly.

 

 

One step closer today...the noise is coming from the anti roll bar...? it clonks if moved by hand..

 

Next is to find out which bushes or drop links need sorting and whether to keep to oem or slight upgrade ??

 

Just replaced both rear shocks, went for standard, bit bouncy now but hopefully settle down soon.

It was indeed the drop links causing the noise,  ...they looked perfect ??  but we decided to change them on both sides and all is now well.
