Knocking from front end

David chillman · Oct 8, 2018

hi
Landy started to knock suddenly from the front end
Increases in frequency with speed
Could this be drive shafts or something more sinister
Thanks

Well, you own a Freelander, so it's bound to be sinister...

Can you describe the noise and when it happens exactly.

It happens as soon as I pull off and increases with the speed and decreases until I come to a stop

So does it make any difference to the noise if you accelerate or slow down? Is it still there if you are coasting down a hill?

Yes if I accelerate it gets faster,and slower when I slow down
And if I knock it out of gear it’s still there and gets slower as the vehicle comes to a stop

So it's something that is rotating with the vehicle, loaded or not. Have you checked the mass damper on the VCU? That's the prime candidate for a vibration on or off load.

Could it be the anti roll bar shifted and catching what ever it catches against?

Would that be a knocking or a rubbing?

Check drivers side drive shaft where it goes into IRD in case its support bearing is collapsing.
