New noise discovered

I might have missed this in the thread somewhere...Do you have disc brakes? Does it go away when you apply the brakes? Kind of sounds like a loose brake pad. I had that happen a long time ago and it made a similar noise. It was on my 67 Satellite with factory 4 piston caliper disc brakes. I don’t recall the cause or fix, but it was probably a sticking caliper piston.

I do have disc brakes. Not factory, they are from Dr. Diff. It slows down when brakes are applied but doesn’t stop. I would think that would indicate issue at wheels or driveshaft?

wheels,driveshaft or in the axle itself.... do you have wheel spacers or anything on?

 

[icetech]

I'll be honest.. at this point i would disconnect the driveshaft from the axle, spin the axle by hand (from the yoke not a hub) and feel/listen and do the same with the driveshaft...

Thanks everyone for the help. Shout out to everyone who said check wheels, specifically icetech who asked about wheel spacers….the culprit. If I was more competent at this I would’ve got it way back in comment #4

Great video...The widescreen aspect ratio looks so much better.
Good thing you got it fixed. NOW post up some pictures of the whole car. It looks nice from what I can see in the videos.

Sounds like maybe the spider gear pin in the carrier is moving about??

Or the pinion bearing has slipped out of position.

Awesome! i'm glad that fixed it.. once you drive a car with a wheel falling off you never forget the sound

P.S. wheel spacers are the devil.. make sure to check em now and then

Thank goodness it wasn't a bad cockbite valve.... Glad you got it sorted, we have more important stuff to deal with....

I actually forgot the sound....but it was a 4-banger back in the 80's......front wheel came off at around 60 washingmachines/hr, and on the motorway at that.
Found the wheel eventually.....had to steal one nut from each of the other three wheels just to get going again....only a 4-stud car.

Frightening to say the least, and left a nice groove in the road surface.

To make matters worse, it was a friend's car.....and believe it or not....he is a member here.
