Undetectable noise. front left wheel.
Hi again.
I still have a strange noise on the front left wheel , I have already changed , Steereng dampner , Wheel Hubs ( All 4 ) both drive shafts. and numerous ather things and the damned noise is still there. It increases when accelerating and turning to the right, it stops when not accelerating. I took it a work shop and told me that now I need new wheels and Shocks. That these is the cause of the noise. I am really running out of options , money and patience. Actually I thought of turning up the volume and forgetting about the entire thing and waiting for something to come off , but this car belonged to my grand father and he really liked it ( so do I Really ) and intend to bring it back to new condition , but still need to do the 60 K service....And getting a little desperate. LR Work shop ( called the house of terror in Mexico ) originaly told me it was the transfer case .... I have checked it and to my knowledge it is all good No sounds Leaks or anything. Perhaps I should do a check List of everything I need to do acording to priorities right ? What would guys consider as a priority ? Noise , 60 K service , Wheels , Shocks ? |
RE: Undetectable noise. front left wheel.
I would do the full service first (unless your tires are very worn). Who knows, changing the fluids might fix it (maybe power steeering, diff / tranfer case noise?). Can you describe the noise any better? Is the noise constant, rhytmic, loud, soft, metal-metal, scraping, cluncking, squealing, occur when actually turning the steering wheel or is itwhen holding it in a right hand turn? Shocks or sway bar sounds plausible but it depends on the sound.

Disco 2003 67k.
Checked all fluids , Nothing aparent on Trany or Transfer Case. Noise is soft Metalic scraping. Happens when accelerating and turing to the right at 40+ MPH ( on left front Wheel ) also happens when road is irregular and increases when accelerating ... Also tends to wonder off on irregular roads or constant correction ( hands on wheel oll the time ). Wheels are worn unevenly , more on the inside ... they are KHUMO 255.55 r 18. Shocks are Custom LR. seem a little worn. Very hard on bumps or holes on road ( I believe this is normal right ?). Engine Oil . Air filter , seem new I have no history and havent checked anything else. LR Mexico has NO history on this car so I´m pretty much on your hands and will be bery thankfull if I can save some Money. |

Jack up that wheel and see if there is any abnormal play. |

I'm with Mike. I bet it's the CV joints, driveshaft u-joints, or centering ball issue. DAMHIK! JF
