Blown 0 Posted June 20, 2003 Help! I've noticed in the past few months a weird knocking rumbling noise coming from somewhere in the vicinity of the drivers side footwell/wheel area of my G60.It sounds like something rumbling underneath the car,as if it's about to come off,but only happens after I've gone hard through a left hand bend,lasts for a couple of minutes(sometimes very loudly)and then disappears again,sometimes never heard of again for a few weeks. I've checked the wheel bearings and they appear ok,also the suspension strut and most thing underneath are sound. Could this be anti-roll bar problems or an indication of something more sinister,i.e driveshaft/cv joint problems. :cry: I took the car to a garage and explained all this to them and took the mechanic in the car to try and get it to happen-typically it behaved itself! :roll: Any thoughts on this would be appreciated as its pretty scary when this noise appears.

Joe M 0 Posted June 20, 2003 Only thing I can think of at the moment is the vibration dampener on the driveshaft. Looks like a big rubber donut, if its not attached right and you can slide it on the driveshaft by hand then cut it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazzaG60 0 Posted June 20, 2003 i have this too. appeared after inters. strange. dont always feel it. whenits there though its like clunk,cluck,clunk only whe driving like 10mph n slowing though.

Joe M 0 Posted June 20, 2003 To be honest, it doesnt completely sound like the vibration dampener to me, when mine was loose I noticed it more under braking from high speed. Its definately something worth checking though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sc16v 0 Posted June 20, 2003 Hi blown, does the noise occour only when turning? sounds like a CV joint culd be worn. This happens at slower speeds when turning (more so in full lock) and heavy clonking noise is heard :) :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blown 0 Posted June 20, 2003 It's okay when turning at slow speeds and on full lock,never hear a thing. It just occurs when cornering hard,usually if its a left hand bend and occasionally on a right hander(no jokes please!!) :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Dan 0 Posted March 4, 2004 Thought I would put this one at the top, I think I have a similar prob. 1st & only time it happened was last week when I took the car through a number of corners at speed. Then got a bit of knocking from the front of the car, I slowed down & it went away. It's not the exhuast - it's rock solid, as are all the engine mounts and all rubber suspension / anti-roll bar bushes as i have had them all replaced. Could it be this driveshalt thing? I've also had a read of it on http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... eshaft+g60 Is it just a case of cutting it off? Sounds a bit easy for a problem on one of my cars LOL :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
