Brasco Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 been driving this freelander around, and on the front one can hear sort of a noise like empty shocks...so i dismantled both shocks but seem to be in good condition. no oil leaks, and the stroke seems very similar to the new ones...so i replaced the bump stops cause they where damaged and remounted everthing in place but the noise persists i measured the springs and they where both 339mm...the manual says from 359 to 375mm unless it is the sports model cause those measure 308mm ...can it be the springs which are causing that noise? i examined all car from underneat for mountings, etc, but everthing seems fine.. would like to know are there different type of grades of springs for freelanders, just like defenders or disco's? the ones fitted where marked with a purple and white paint and the shocks where marked with green paint. any idea ?? the model is a 2005 4dr tdi...

Llanigraham Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 No, but as for the noise, have you checked the condition of the anti roll bar drop links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasco Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 cannot describe it...but sorry my fault...you have to be driving around on the streets of Malta, to be aquainted with the sort of noise.. as regards the anti roll bar links...they seem quiet good ...
