AJL Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi can anyone suggest what this could be please? Over the last 30-50 miles my car had started to make strange noises when driving. There's a constant honking frk The drive train as if there's a small distressed goose underneath. It started approx. 50 miles ago and was most noticeable at first when turning right at low speed. Now it's pretty much constant. The middle prop yoke was changed 1000 miles ago. It sounds more like bearings graunching or as if something needs greasing. Anyone experienced this before? The car has done 62k miles from new and is still on it's original wheel bearings. Any suggestions appreciated James Ps checked underneath and no sign of a goose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very brightly coloured. :lol: Best way of checking for wheel bearings is at slow speed on sharper cornering either reversing or normal turning. Also a shock absorber may have given up. Even new ones can fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanuki Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Check the brakes: my TD5 produced an intermittent noise rather like what you describe: I called it "moosing" - which turned out to be a tight brake caliper not allowing the pads to retract fully.

BogMonster Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Assuming you have oil in gearboxes and diffs, another UJ would be my guess, dry bearings which inevitably means it will start talking to the floor at some point in the not too distant future.
