Hi all,
After driving for about 2 hours at over 60mph a thumping/knocking noise starts from front end.It is related to road speed and stops at about 20mph.If the car is parked for half hour it stops but starts again soon after.Replaced inner and outer brgs. discs pads seals recent no change.First started 2 years ago on a trip to paris,obviously not terminal as something would have gone by now.
Looking at manual does anyone think it may be needle roller brgs on drive shaft?Could they have dryed out or worn?
 
i get a knocking under my feet, on all but smoothest surfaces.
think it may be torsion bar bushes. been advised truck is slighty
nose down and raising it might reduce noises.

the noise sometimes feels like something loose in the door or the
side steps. learnt to ignore it and sometimes almost more of a
worry when its not there. can always turn up the stereo. oh and
had 4 tests , straight passes so clearly not much of an issue down
there. :smile:

also had clunks on roundabouts which was attributed to the drop
links. i was told werent dangerous but were test fails.
