The rubber bush bearing near the uni on the metal tail shaft is unlikely to make a rattle sound when there farkt it's more of a whole bunch of little donk donk donk sounds. I doubt it's a 3k rattle rule out all the simple stuff 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the don't remove them they rattle around and give you the sh*ts. Good luckD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 4m 20d Posted 05/11/12 09:42 PM Share Posted 05/11/12 09:42 PM Is it a rattle or more of a knock. Because I had a sound like the spare wheel was jumping around over bumps so I checked everything then had it checked by Pedders and Ford and replaced a couple of bushes here n there n nothing. Wasn't until I changed my diff bushes that it went away. But my sound was like a knock/thud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a towbar fitted to one of my T's a few years ago (I think every XR I've had I've either optioned or bought it with a towbar) - during the installation they spot weld a nut to the end of a piece of wire so they can reach in from the back to hold the nut in place whilst they do up a bolt. Issue is, as deek showed me one day at a FPV open day, is the lax buggers don't snip the wire back far enough to the nut and leave a fair amount of it dangling there so that it rattles around next to the towbar. This may not be applicable to you but it sure brought alot of relief to me after deeks sorted this out for me (power of the Forum ) with a pair of wire snips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
