Good morning all,
I have a problem I’m hoping someone may have encountered before. I realise it’s difficult to diagnose online so I’ll try to include as much info as possible. My bus is a 75 bay.
Recently I have noticed a knocking sound whilst driving. It is not constant and sometimes it can go 2 or 3 days without making a sound. It appears to be coming from the rear (or rear half).
*The knocking occurs in all gears.
*It appears to be consistent with speed ie low speed, the knocking is slower, faster speed the knocking is *faster.
*The knocking can be quite loud, then when the clutch is pushed in it stops. Clutch out and it starts again.
*It doesn’t occur when coasting in neutral.
*It happens driving in a straight line or around a bend.
*The sound can be evident one minute and then it will just stop.
*Rear shocks have just been replaced.
That’s about all I can think of. I thought maybe CV joints as both wheel side boots have splits which I’ll replace, but I have no idea what could be causing the noise.
If any of you learned people have any ideas I’d be extremely grateful.
Regards
ASH
