Horrible noises when slow

Dog Dyas · Aug 1, 2015

Only a quick one. My 90 didn't make much noise to be fair. Took her off roading a few times when I first got her, fine now it's star to sound awful when I'm coming to a stop or struggling in 5th gear. Rattling and vibrating etc... That I can deal with. Went out last night for a run, nothing crazy, few bogs, steep hills, inverts, and ditches but nothing serious, now if I'm rolling at traffic lights or ain't got the foot down going slow its sounds dreadful, like the brakes on ur bike when ur a kid just constantly squealing like their rubbing but all looks fine. It's loud as **** though.

Errr ok.you should be selling stuff on eBay.............

If your 90 can handle INVERTS that's amazing....

Invert :
1.
put upside down or in the opposite position, order, or arrangement.
"invert the mousse on to a serving plate"

Haha maybe I used the wrong word then. Basically there's parts I go on where only 2 wheels are touching ground. Mad articulation like.

Its 4.30 am all is forgiven

So its just braking which is making the sounds ?

Water pump failing? Give the pulley a wiggle and feel for play. What engine ?

Stones and/or mud caught in the calipers, or behind the disc shields, and riding against the disc. A pebble caught between the shield and the disc can sound horrendous, but usually a quick reverse will remove it!

Sorry, meant to quote OP in above^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, but I cant work out how to delete a post on the new system!

I'd be looking at anything that goes round and round. Wheel bearings, propshaft joints, input and output flange bearings at the diffs and gearbox respectively. It's something that tightens up or goes away under load and is most obvious on the overrun, so I'd be looking for a bearing somewhere. Also, don't forget the handbrake. I had a nasty squeak under acceleration about two years ago which turned out to be the handbrake mechanism. New shoes and springs cured it.

I am going to get a reputation that all drive slow noise is the drive members but they are worth a look at. Mine made an awful noise just as you describe and replacing them stopped it.
