F0CUE Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 A couple of times now whilst going fast round corners I'm hearing a rubbing noise and last time had passengers who were able to pinpoint it's from the rear and I'm not lowered could it be something to do with sway bars?

gillyallan Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 No expert but are springs/shocks OK?I don't have anything else sorry, other than not to go round corners fast lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1981 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Cud be arb bushes, rear arm bushes, worn drop links. U need to get under it and check for anything obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggsbody Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 @F0CUE as the previous 2 mentioned, really you need to Jack it up n check with a bar for abnormal movement from 1 side to the other, could possibly be bearings starting to go as ours on turning right skips very slightly but only when turned into a certain angle.

F0CUE Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 My rear arms are brand new so that's ruled out. It only does it when really pushing it. It kind of sounds like a fan starting up in a way. How do you test the arb bushes properly from your drive is it possible? @doggsbody thanks I'll do the bearing test I was thinking on that and @Dave1981 thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doggsbody Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 @F0CUE testing parts same as me mate Jack 1 side up n if using a trolley jack use the that bar or a crow bar, place it in between various gaps n see saw it see it anything moves then repeat on the other side it should show what moves if anything does then if on the opposite side it doesn't then you'll know what moved shouldn't have, bearings jack it up n wobble it side to side n top n bottom with it being the rear there shouldn't be any movement at all.. try replacing a gearbox on a mud garden 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Is it both sides or just one? Can you see any tyre scuff marks on the arch liners? Are you using soft tyres like Rainsports or got them fairly low on air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only noticed one side that does it and I'll check the liner for scuffs cheers and no tyres are hard and blown up to spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
