Defender td5 thrust bearing

Kawak · Sep 10, 2012

Fitted a single mass flywheel and clutch kit about 2000 miles ago and have just started getting a chattering that sounds like the thrust bearing on its way out

not happy about that, but can anyone think of anything else that could cause a similar noise with clutch out and go when the clutch is depressed ?

Just change a cv joint the other day as I have been getting a banging followed by a whine or grinding noise , the front n/s wheel stiffened up following one of the clunks so the cv joint was swapped as it had an ovaled bearing causin slack and tight spots , hence the random bangs , now got more bangs sounded like something falling off puleld over (was doinm 70 on the m62 at the time ) but nothing missing or visibly wrong , but if I accelerate it seems to track fine then let go of the throttle it pulls to the left , ball joints feel fine tho :s

Lol sorry for the long boring random post but it seems I have multiple problems and am a little lost ATM

Thanks in advance

Check the rear trailing arm bushes for play. Thats a classic symptom steering on decel.

Just not long since been renewed, would fronts possibly cause same problem?

Its possible. Could be the front radius arm bushes.

removing the dual mass flywheel and replacing with solid can lead to box chatter at tick over ,which will go if clutch pressed or revs raised,rear axle arm bushes or worn/loose bolts as well as front can lead to car pulling one way

Know the chatter got a bit louder when I swapped the fly wheel , guess I'll have to see how it goes if it gets worse ill just have to hope its a dud bearing, the noise stays / gets louder with revs

The front radius arm bushes have some play if u use em to jack ye Landy up off and if you look close it looks like the steel bush threw the middles coming away from the rubber allowing the arm to move horizontally , think I best get em swapped out

Thanks for the pointers
