Safari Noise
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2007 8:51 pm
This is going to be a hard one to explain, i havent had a chance to check anything yet, thought i ask on here for some common faults.
My safari is making a strange bassy sound from what appears to be the left rear section of the car, but could easily just be anywhere in the rear section.
At low speed while turning i hear a rumble coming from this area, i read something about hub adjustment the other day, could i just need to tighten a bolt?
I dont know if this is related but i notice the car can be a little bit vibratey on the road, this could just be normal vibration, ive never owned a 4wd before
This would scream out wheel bearing to me on a car but im not sure what the deal is with the setup in these 4wds
could it be the diff grinding away at itself as the inside wheel slows down? do they run viscous diffs in the rear? its got locking hubs up front
btw its a 1992 safari kingsroad lwb
help me!!!
