#1: New recon rear axle - strange noise Author: jamie-38-206, Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2015 10:50 am ---- Hi,
I had a recon rear axle fitted a few months ago. Keep on getting a strange metal 'ding' noise from the back near side. Has new shocks on the back also but noise still there. My mechanic says he does not know where it is coming from which I find a bit strange.
Seems to be enough clearance on exhaust.
Wheel cage is tight.
Any help will be most welcome.

I had a custom sized arb fitted but it used to make a clanging noise while going over speed bumps so I stuck the 180 back in. get 2 people with 2 hammers and bang on the arb end plates simultaneously from both sides.

Would a new torsion bar have come with my recon axle? Is a new torsion bar a big job..... clutching at straws now

#8: Re: New recon rear axle - strange noise Author: jamie-38-206, Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:05 am ---- Its kind of bumps but not very consistant and not all the time. The mechanic I use said he can hear it but does not know where its coming from. I while after I got the recon axle we discovered a bolt was missing on that back rear side and it was replaced and it stopped for a while. Bolt is still there. Will try to upload a photo of the bolt.

I knew something was wrong because of a new rear noise. My mechanic put a new bolt in. This is the same side as the noise.

#13: Re: New recon rear axle - strange noise Author: jamie-38-206, Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2015 4:23 pm ---- I don't really want to name company at moment as there is a 2 year warranty and would like to give them the benefit of sorting the problem via axle exchange if it is the axle again.
#14: Re: New recon rear axle - strange noise Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Thu Jul 23, 2015 4:33 pm ---- We know who that is then. Another member on here recently had a problem with an axle sent to them, if it's the same company. Look for a member called project.
#16: Re: New recon rear axle - strange noise Author: jamie-38-206, Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2015 2:18 am ---- Hi, its from a different company. Came with a 2 year warranty. Not sure why the bolt fell out so soon after getting it or any damage was caused driving with it missing. Going on holiday this week but will hopefully get it rectified when i come back
#17: Re: New recon rear axle - strange noise Author: jamie-38-206, Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2015 4:43 am ---- Hi, on holiday in north of Scotland at the moment with car. Another issue, the front wheel bearing got worse so I got a local garage to fix it and check the back end out while he had the car. He is now the 3rd garage to tell me the back axle is ok. I was thinking something may be rattling in the back left drum as even when I tightened the handbrake the left cable is still slack. Do I need any special tools to open the drum to have a look?
