2002 Discovery Td5 es
Hi all, not been on here for a while but am asking for some help in locating an annoying knocking. When driving slowly over slightly rough ground feels like something loose on back end. When I rock the car can hear it knocking, sounds to be coming from top off offside air bag.
Another thing that's starting is a juddering noice when going round right hand bends, sounds like tyre catching mud flap, there's no play in wheels.
Jobs already done:-
Watts linkage renewed
New Shocks
New drop links
Torsion bar bushes

Afternoon,

Shirley the first thing to do is lay underneath the car while someone gives the car a shaking.

Is the juddering high and low speed? only on RH bends?

Cheers

Done that and no one can locate it!

rear roll bar drop links just done mine ,,happy days

Did you use genuine bushes for your watts linkage particularly the centre bearing? I've heard of the aftermarket bearings failing after a short while so might be worth double checking your linkage.
Might be worth checking the clips on top of your o/s airbag, mines on coils don't really know about the sls.
Other than that see if you can gain the use of a lift and get underneath and give all the bushes a good go with a large pry bar. The MOT centre by me let's me use his spare 4 post lift for a tenner an hour, it's come in handy when I've needed more space/leverage. Keep us updated though fella be good to know what you find
