Knocking noise after Standing for 2 Months

Normandiscofan · Apr 24, 2012

I have a Freelander TD4. It has been standing for 2 months. When i ran it there was a knocking as though something was catching underneath. The faster i went the quicker the knocks. When i jacked it up to spin each wheel individually to find which one was making the sound, the wheels are locked as if in gear. How can i free them so that i can spin each wheel to find which one is the problem?
Thanks

CV joint possibly and Freelander is in constant 4wd, isnt it?

Except if you reverse round corners, then it goes into permanent 2wd

did you leave it with the handbrake on?
if you did it could be stuck on

wont the vc have locked up so he cant turn the wheels and the knocking is a result of the stress under there while on hard surfaces?

if not I dont care as I dont really want to know about gaylanders

lol no worries, just re- post it in the gaylander forum on this website.

also to use the car disconnect your front prop and see if it drives ok

sounds like cv joint to me.........but it could also be a number of other things.

try a search, using the search box above
