noise
hi everybody
i have just purchased a 2005 swb 90 from a dealer in somerset [i live in birmingham]. it has developed a noise from the back end [metalic sound] when i move forward and when i move backward.because of the distance involved going back to the dealer i took it to garage by me [the mechanic has a disco himself so knows a thing or two],he checked all the bushes and said they were fine and said the noise seems to be coming from rear axle. i phoned the dealer and he said it sounds like a drive flange needs replacing ,so posted 2 to me to fit which i did. replaced left side first and checked for noise [still there] then replaced right side [still got noise] has anybody got any ideas? [mechanic checked the props said they were fine]
also went to work this morning come home and noticed a wheel center [on rear wheel] was mising, when i looked close i could see the rubber cup was missing on drive flange. i would say the cup blew off taking the wheel center with it, if i had put to much grease around shaft and in the cup could this have happened?

yours cordell

I have the same noise in my 2008 Puma. It is booked in with the dealer for next Tue, so will let you know what they find.

I, too, couldn't find any loose bushes, prop shaft bolts or A frame welding faults. Sounds like someone hitting the chassis with a screwdriver handle.

You should be able to take it to any dealer - not just the one you bought it off.

If it's covered by warranty then any dealer can do it Thumbs Up
