freelander rear knocking noise

[papermoon]

Does anyone have a knocking noise from the rear of your freelander and struggling to know what it is? its actually the rear axel mounts the nuts are located in the chassis have dislodged and allowed to move. Ive done 2 this week alone. Theres a simple sollution you just have to clean arround the area and simply put a weld on each contactable place, its mot passable however landrover will tell you it isnt and will charge you between £1000-£2000 to repair the fault (my mate is a landrover mechanic) as they say they have to open the chassis and repair it that way.

Have you not seen the "sticky" at the top of this Section?

Where are you? I might need mine doing!!

RFR. They are quite correct to fail it.

It would be difficult to say what the noise could be without being there. I do hear noises but it could be a loose nut mostly in my case. Where excatly does the noise come from?

If you reverse and drive forward it will make a cracking noise like a loose bolt but this is what it will be!
