hi folks
i've had my surf since late last year and thanks to searching this forum have managed to sort out a few minor faults etc
but this has got me stumped ,the problem is a rattle- it sounds like something is really loose when i go over bumps in the road ,i have taken it to 3 local tyre and exhaust centres and had it up on the ramps but everything seems tight underneath and they cant find anything loose.
i have looked under the bonnet and everything seems tight ,this morning i've taken the front guard off ,underslung spare wheel and related brackets off and rocked the truck but i cant hear anything it only happens when i'm driving, so i'm thinking it must be drive shaft or suspension related?!
the noise sounds like a metal plate is really loose and slapping about
the truck has 31" tyres on it and non standard wheels also it has had a 2" lift done by the previous owner but he hasnt dropped the rad just cut the shroud back so it makes me wonder how well the lift has been done
i'm gonna change the atf today (the floor gets very hot while i'm towing)
so any suggestions you think might be worth looking at would be very helpful
cheers
