Slight knocking under load & let off load (RRC)

Sounds like something on the NS rear possibly front under load (on take up & let off of load) It's not a
heavy clonk or similar. It's more like a muffled heavy tapping. I though the exhaust at first, but it
seems tighter than a nuns muff.

Any ideas fellow contributors?

Radius arm bushes? Crowbar testing time.

Or something loose on the inner wing...is the Battery fastened down?

Both our Rangie and Disco suffer a brake pad rattle too. Rather reassuring
as I haven't touched the braked on the Disco so at least I know it's not me.

You can check if its this by jacking the wheels and rolling for and aft to
listen for the pads relocating. Bit clackety clack. Aggrivated on bumpy
lanes but shuts up when the brakes are applied.

This is probably because they are too clean and not got a crud cushion.

Both vehicles have sound bearings ect.

Could be any number of bushes, I had a particularly awkward one to find that
sounded like it was coming from the fuel tank area, after getting a buddy to
jump up and down on the tow bar while I crawled around underneath we traced
it to the panhard rod bushes at the fornt, the sound was travelling right
through the chassis and appearing to be at the rear end.

Another one turned out to be shock absorber bushes, took bloody ages to find
the noise but once there it was a reasonably easy fix. From your description
I'm erring towards shock absorber bushes.

I thoroughly recommend the use of an able weighty assistant to "bounce"
vehicle whilst you crawl around underneath trying to narrow down knocking
sounds.

Now if said sounds only occurs under power and not when stationary and under
able weighty assistant conditions then you need to start looking at the
drive train starting with the obvious bits first such as UJ's on the
propshafts etc.

Happy hunting.
