#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

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.
