barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 10y 5m 6d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 28/04/16 02:22 AM Share Posted 28/04/16 02:22 AM its load related then and probably not engine itself. check the things keify mentioned. Does it happen at a particular speed or more noticible at a given speed. I say speed and not rpm coz im thinking tailshaft centre bearing but it's just another guess really mate without a great deal to go on my exhaust would rattle when idling in gear. moved the rubbers around a bit and did the hose clamp trick on the rear one to lift the tip up a bit when I was doing some other stuff to the car on the weekend. been quiet since lol, didnt even set out to fix it..

GKGSJQKS Banned 259 Member For: 8y 10m 9d Gender: Not Telling Posted 05/05/16 05:30 AM Author Share Posted 05/05/16 05:30 AM Got the car diagnosed and the report was "3 diff bushes + bladearm bushes". So in the diagrams below that would be "blade control arm front kit" and would the 3 diff bushes consist of "differential pinion, bracket mount kit" (two that I can see) and "differential rear centre support kit"?

Will replacing those 5 bushes solve your original problem? I'm doubtful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main rear diff bush and side diff bushes being buggered would mean a very noticeable "clunk" in the rear end on almost all "load changes" e.g. taking off from a standstill, changing gears roughly, coasting downhill. Trailing arm bushes if they're stuffed can cause weird rear end wobbles, especially when turning, but are definitely not as noticeable as diff bush problems.

Is there a degree to the level of wear with these bushes and the symptoms exhibited or is it the case that they have to be either fine or totally stuffed?
