THE RATTLE IN THE WHEEL.

Post by Southernboy »

Left rear rattle identified by driving close to a pavement edge and listening for the noise... (This is on the 3.0 car).
Wheel, calliper and disc/drum removed... dismantled and removed the brake shoes...
At the bottom there is a small fitting held by 2 bolts (9/16" / 14 socket).... the one bolt was about 7mm undone and it's mate was also loose.... tightened up and used some Blue thread locker fluid on them.
Everything replaced - total time 45mins....then.... silence .... :D
