Hey All
A couple of things...
Do the D22 4x4's have a small amount of movement in the front wheels when checking the bearing play?? Mine have a bit of movement but nothing too insane and was wondering whether this was normal for the Navara's.
The reason for me checking is that i am getting a knocking noise that is driving me insane.. It seems to be coming from the rear and happens when i go over minor bumps in the road and sometimes when i go around corners. I've spanner checked the rear end, have greased the rear leafs, tightened the spare wheel, removed the tow ball tongue and it is still there. The strange thing is that is also seems to be ambient temperature dependant. when its cold such as in the morning it seems to make the noise more than later in the day when it is warmer. This seems to be the case irrespectively of the vehicle tempature.. and its not that i'm noticing it more because i have the windows closed in the morning or anything like that...... its Very strange and its reaally annoying me...
As i've been through the rear end i naturally progressed on to the front and that was when i notice the small amount of wheel play... Are the ball joints on the front wheels known to go???
oh its a 2004 D22 ZD30DT, with just over 150k on the clock
Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated.
cheers
