Hi guys I am looking for a bit of advice I have a 2005 TD4 with 143,000 on the clock.
I have a clonk in reverse and some times forward but only on lock either side. I have eliminated a few possibilities.
It has (all recently) 3 new diff bearings, reconditioned VCU and propshaft UJ's so most of the usual guilty culprits. It drives fine and apart from the clonks there is only one other symptom and that is that on right hand turns that are tightish at a speed of about 20MPH I get a rumbling that sounds like a bearing but isn't cos I have changed that too.
Tyres are all the same etc and even wear.
Any advice about whether this is consistent with IRD issues? or is there another simple possibility? (and cheaper)
Subframe all looks ok but as I understand the later ones did not have this issue though the clonk is definately drivetrain?
Anyone know anywhere in Essex that will give good honest diagnosis without convincing me to spend the earth if it does not need it yet?
Thanks in advance
