MYSTERY ISSUE. Doing my head in. Please Help!

[mudnut]

This is a picture of a GQ panhard. Note the washer clamps onto the steel tube in the centre of the panhard bush. To check the wheel bearings, just do one side at a time, using the nissan jack.

Hhmmmm..
Have you tried 4h at speed, 60k etc?

Panhard locking nut on the adjustment thread, not mountings.
Only jack I have is a hi lift and I'm not too keen on using that.

Will 4H on bitumen at speed not cause transmission windup?

Should fine as long as all your Tyres are the same size and you don't have a locked differential.

Along as you remember to take it out after lol..

Panhard has no rubber or washer on the locking nut.
Handbrake is always fully off (I make sure every time)
As for jacking up the front, I don't have the gear to do that sort of thing.
When you say loose bearing, is there an adjustment on there? And would this possibly explain the rumbling issue?

Cheers

My bad, didn't read your post properly, the word LOCKING escaped me, somehow. I should have wrote 'binding on' when explaining about the handbrake. I had a knocking and grinding noise which manifested itself in the front left hub. It turned out to be the handbrake shoe wasn't fully clear of the drum when released.

Weird but true.

Evo,

As you are incapacitated with your bad back, I would just put it in with the mechanic you felt you got the best advice from....

I had a squeak in the front end of a Falcon, which I could swear was coming from the strut, and in taking it to my mechanic, he immediately diagnosed it as a ball joint - which it ended up being and he was totally correct....not all mechanics are useless, as they build up a large knowledge bank of potential problems and fixes

I am considering going with the one who said its the clutch, as I will be needing to replace it this year sometime anyway, but it will take me a while to get enough money for that, so was hoping this would be a cheaper fix to keep me mobile until clutch funds have grown.

just seen your thread mate, sorry but I'm not overly mechanically minded but if I can be of any assistance I will..... I'm in Redcliffe, so about half hour away. I think Rustyboner lives quite near to you, so maybe we might be able to get down and have a gander.......... But would probably have to be next weekend for me if you can wait

Good stuff Clunky
