good evening folks,
I seem to have developed a strange noise from the rear of the car, I can only describe it as a slight clunking knocking noise vaguely like a bearing noise all thrown into 1, now its not continues or seems that way I think its more when the is no real load on the drive train and a bit more so when I reverse. im thinking its diff related or am I way off?

Mostly like the rear diff mount (common issue) or could be the rear ARB bushes.

I changed the dif mount about 18 months ago, so hopefully it won't be that
And at the same time I changed to the adjustable arb, ill have look tonight and make sure all is tight and right.

Ok so I've got absolutely nothing wrong what so ever and I feel like a peanut,slight knocking noise turns out to be a plastic bag that's got a small stick or something wrapped around the driveshaft hitting every time it went round.

I hope you enjoy your peanut, and I think you can buy " plastic bag that's got a small stick or something" removal tools off Ebay :lol: :lol: :lol:

I wish that was the cause of the knocks and rattles on my cars :(
