Knocking noise when slowing down.

[NewDan]

Hey all ,

Got a problem with the GQ and rather than take it to a mechanic as I usually do I want to try tackle this myself over my holidays and maybe try learn something.

The problem is a noise when coasting to a stop. Sort of like you would have with a flat spot on a tyre or something out of round or grabbing when slowing down. Its directly linked to the speed of the veichle and only when coasting to a stop. Sort of like da.da.da..da...da......da........da............... da.

It only happens some times. and can feel a vibration through the gear shift when it happens.

I get it when in gear, out of gear, clutch in, cluth out , so I dont think it coming from the gear box or clutch. At first I though it was coming from the front end but now I'm thinking mid veichle.

Any ideas where I should start looking.

Many thanks,
Dan

Also look on the inside of your tyres you may have blown the sidewall out causing a bulge.
But going with Westy something caught Maybe even rocks in between disc and rim,

Mine is doing the same, did you end up finding the fault? was it an easy fix?

I have had a similar problem before and just before I would come to a complete stop I would get a really good thud, turned out to be wheel bearings shot.
