Banging

Hi my names russ, im new to the forum and landrover scene. Can anyone help. I was driving yesterday and turned a corner heard a bang and now when i turn a corner i hear a bang also on bumps and when i reverse i hear a grinding noise. Any advice please.

Can anybody help please

You'll need to be a bit more patient.

I don't think patience will help much untill the OP says what vehicle and year and then puts it in the relevant forum.
Not 'yorkshire'

Sorry I'm new and don't know bits off this forum. It's a freelander 2 07 plate Gs model

Sorry

From your very brief description and the fact that you have a freelander, I'm going to guess it might be the cv joint. You need to give more info, which side is banging, is it on full lock or slight steering, what have you already looked at tried etc.

Hi col. It sounds like at the rear banging. And wen it goes in reverse it grinds.

Is there any unusual noises when you are driving it in a straight line at various speeds?

Col

No col when driving straight and on motorway it's fine till I hit a bump or turn corner

Banging when hitting a bump points towards something in the rear suspension but Im at a loss to explain the grinding noise. Does the grinding noise seem to get faster if the car is reversed at a faster speed? The grinding could be anything from a dodgy diff to a collapsed wheel bearing to a problem with the brakes. I think you need to jack up the rear and have a feel of the wheels, turn each by hand to see if they feel smooth or not. You definitely need to isolate where the noise is coming from.

Thankyou col

Your welcome.
Also, I would avoid driving at speed or for long distances until the source of the banging grinding is found.
