| HELP!!! While driving rotational knocking noise. |
|
Hi folks I'm needing a wee bit of help please.
My D3 had a worn centre bearing on the prop. I started to find I was getting a knocking noise while driving and if I gave it some gas it would turn from a knock to a loud thudding! If you keep the speed steady it would return to just a rotational knocking. So I changed the centre bearing thinking this will fix the problem BUT NO!!! It's like it's trying to get into low drive or like the diff on the front is packing in (I hope not).
Anyone got any magic dust left???

I had the clutch and flywheel done last year I hope it's not that again 🙄.
I find that when I turn left the noise goes away until i have straightened up.
I'm thinking front drive shaft or wheel bearing??

When doing the centre bearing did you check the various uni joints. It has often been recommended that you replace the whole prop shaft assembly instead of just the bearing.
I would recheck

Changed my propshaft as the centre bearing was shot, but when I got it off, found the UJ was also partially seized, have you checked that end as well
