Sixty MPH Thumps


Chriso

Recommended Posts

Dear All,

I have a 1995 MY 300 tdi disco that suffers from very distinctive harmonic beats that drum noisely at about 60 mph (cruising speed).

The car has a new rubber coupling in the rear prop and the harmonic damper thingy on the front axle. I run Bearmach HD blue springs with about an inch lift (well on one side at least...) gas dampers and BF Goodrich ATs at about 35 psi.

Does any other disco do this, and is there a fix?

Thanks guys

Chris.

Could Be:

Worn UJ's

Tyre Balance

Gearbox noise(mine make a strange noise in 5th)

Tyre Noise

Wheel bearing

and probably a few other things

Try greasing up both props and see if the noise drop at all.
