boffa Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 I have recently changed both driveshafts with pattern parts sourced from motor factors. I had another problem with a tyre (Michelin) that had de-laminated and caused a wobble that has been sorted now. The problem I'm getting is on a fast roundabout, right hand down and under acceleration, I get a thumping noise from the front N/S corner. Is it likely that this is driveshaft related or could it be to do with the roll restrictor bar? I have had plenty of issues with the drop links in the past, and I'm pretty sure that it's not them. The noise is speed related in that the faster you go, the quicker the thumping and it's not a metalic sound, more a dull, rubbery sound. I only get it when turning right, under load. Any ideas people? Car is a 2001 TDI manual Galaxy 120000 miles Quote
viperclive Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Check rear bush on wishbone they have a tendency to part allowing wishbone to thump up and down. Quote
