Hey all,
Just getting started now on asking loads of questions after getting my ph2 Dturbo. I'm a terrible 'listener' always looking for noises. I notice that this car has one, which I don't remember hearing on my old xldt. Now this car has a much quieter engine than the old one, so maybe it was there and I just couldn't hear it..... I had a cone filter on the old one, and the thing was just LOUD.
Anyway, the noise in question sort of sounds like road noise, comes from the front left. Like the sound you would get if you had a bongo drum and just continuosly tapped your fingers on it gently. One of those things that if the radio is off, you can really home in on it. Just did discs / pads, track rod end, and it had a new balljoint just before I bought it and also a ARB drop link. When I was working on it, I checked for any play anywhere, and couldn't find any.
Anyone else find a sort of light drumming type road noise coming off the front? Due new tyres in the next few days, the ones on it are very old and a bit cracked - might be a bad tyre I guess. I have also tapped the front spring, and it makes a similar frequency sound, wondered if it might just be road vibrations travelling up into the spring.
