June 16, 201510 yr Hiya everybody! Sorry I dont come here too often since I moved :( I have a problem with my scooby and its that sometimes when I switch gears (usually downshifts) the scooby makes some weird noises coming from the back, I changed the clutch because i tough it was that... but nope... apparently the noises are coming from the back and specially when I do a downshift or the rear wheels have to traction (e.g. uphills)(a "cla cla cla..." sounds appear from the back... and disappear when I get some speed...) I have been reading in some other forums that usually is because of the rear axe wheel bearings... what do you think guys? I doubt is the rear differential, its something that its quite hard to break, and i usually drive my scooby like a granny... xD Thanks!!!!!! :D
June 19, 201510 yr Do you know when it last had a rear different oil change and have you checked the rear different oil levels lately ? I think it's quite unusual for both rear bearings to go at once so you'd normally get a "humming" noise when cornering (when the worn side is under load) try Jacking the back up and check for any top to bottom and side to side play in the rear wheels and give your rear tyres a visual check while it's in the air Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Yeah, might be, this "cla cla cla cla...." does it usually uphill... and when I do a downshift it does weird noises coming from the back, but doesnt sound like the rear differential itself, sounds more to the exteriors of the car... I guess its the bearings because the suspension doesnt change when I shift gears... Also I heard a noise like the machine that the butchers use when cutting meat.. but that might be the brakes i guess :P
June 19, 201510 yr Is the car a sti if not did you fit a matching rear diff ? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

June 20, 201510 yr When driving just pull the handbrake up a bit see what it does not to skid it :D might get a loud clunk then see if it does it again after :)
June 20, 201510 yr Author I will do that then :P now I remember that in the MOT they say something about some rubber things that had to be changed... Im going to look at it later... :P
June 20, 201510 yr Author Yeah, they say that the "Anti-roll bar kinkage rubber bush" are deteriorated, all 4 of them, front and rear ones... but i guess that cant be the noise... since its not related when I do a downshift or on uphills...
June 20, 201510 yr Author Droplinks or anti roll bar bushes :) So, are the freakin anti roll bat bushes? xD
June 20, 201510 yr It could be more prominent knock so it is possible they're giving you the issues :D might have even deteriorated one that bad it's come out :)
June 20, 201510 yr No not really be an MOT fail and would make it sound awful and make the !Removed! end sway about... Yeah wouldn't be good :D
June 20, 201510 yr Author Nicee, still I think im going to change the rear bearings since its also not that expensive and may explain the "clan clan clan clan..." (until it does traction...xD)
June 26, 201510 yr Author K, just ordered a couple of these "http://www.ebay.com/itm/180895091035?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" just hope these will fix the noises that the rear wheels make when im turning and have to do traction at "lower speeds" :)
