tommac Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Really strange noise has developed on the 03 plate 90 td5- when taking a left hand bend at anything over around 20mph- there is a metallic grinding noise! i think its coming from the rear but very hard to tell- when going straight/right hand bends all is normal- it also only does theis when moving at a reasonable speed ie 20mph plus. I put new cv joints in the front about 6 weeks ago but cant imagine this is causing the issue as it would surely make the noise at slow speed? Can anyone point me in the best place to start investigations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 have you checked the wheel bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommac Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 i have given the wheels a shake- did notice any excessive play- i will have to whip the wheeloff and check to be 100%! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I had a similar problem with my disco, it turned out to be a bent/loose backplate on the n/s front. I bent it pulling some bushes out in the garden. rocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
