dobbs Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 i have a knocking that i can feel through the floor pan, gets faster as you speed up and slower as you slow down, so its deffinatly speed related. if i dip the clutch it dosnt make a difference.i have changed the gear box and driveshafts to no avail.on the day the knocking started id had the rear tyre changed.knocking started off fairly quiet.. but has got louder over time.suggestions? i am STUMPED and its starting to get expensive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Can you feel the knock more than hear hear it? Is your steering wheel vibrating? Have you tried 2 diff wheels on the front to make sure its not the wheels or tyres? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yaristurbo Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Bearings or wheel weight has been fitted inside the tyre??? You may laugh but I had this hours to find Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dobbs Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 cant feel anythin through the steering wheel.also the knock is too distinct to be a bent wheel of un balanced tyre.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 So it just sounds like a blatant knock on the floor well? Have you checked all your engine and gearbox mounts are tight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dobbs Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Just for reference if anyone else has this problem.. Collapsed wheel bearing. Was causing sn eliptical movement in the hub which is what made the knocking noise.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
