Weird Sound

**David[RL]** · October 13, 2005

today when I drove the car..

just after I did a hard brake from around 80 to 30km/h I heard a weird sound from hehind..

I have problems describing the sound because of the lack of my english knowlegde..

but I can only describe it as if you lower your car too much and hitting a speed dump or something..

and it's like if my wheel is not in center and hitting the chassis 1 time every cycle..

if I drive slow in 1. gear I can't hear it..

the faster I drive the faster the sound is..

the sound is only there when I accelerate.. I can clutch.. or just give a tiny bit of throttle without accelerate and the sound disapers..

the sound is getting louder if I give much throttle..

I jack up the rear of the car.. full throttle.. in every gear.. and there is no sound.. only when I'm driving..

possible failures I think it might be:

diff?

tailshaft X?

tailshaft rubber thingy?

axleshaft?

rear wheel bearing?

what do you guys think can be the problem? what should I start to check?

I'm starting the get tired of things that goes wrong every damn time I'm driving it.. #Â¤%:lmao:

Sounds like diff to me, but I'm not sure.

yeah.. my friend is 99% sure it's the diff too... but I hope not!

4.7:1 and 1.5way LSD isn't very cheap :lmao:

I guess I have to drive with the locked ke70 rear axle while I rebuild my current one

I will take a look tomorrow.. I just hope it's something cheap that broke!! :sigh:

a clunk that gets faster as you drive

sounds like it could be any of those things

I got my friend that works as a mechanics to find out what it was..

he says it's a bearing that has broken.. 99% sure it's the inner/outer rear wheel bearing

and he also says it's broken because of too stiff springs and too hard driving =) but hey.. that car gotta be used

that is actually good news... I was worried about if I had to buy a new diff and lsd :(

I guess I'll change every single bearing in the rear axle at the same time.. so I don't have to change it in a couple of years or so.. ;)
