W444AJD Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hi All, Had my hawkeye wagon for about a month now, and managed to cover 1500 miles thanks to some work trips. Getting 35mpg on the long trips at about 80mph, so all good! But there's a bad knocking noise when I make sharp left turns at moderate to high speeds, and I can feel something near my left butt cheek lol. Could this be a front diff issue? maybe the diff side gear? There is no bad noises making sharp right turns at any speed, so only left! Anyone experienced similar? How easy/awful would it be to find these parts? Would appreciate any thoughts from you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hello,have a look at the droplinks, and suspension components on that side 1st as it's more than likely to be those before the diff Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W444AJD Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 @stants - thanks, hoping it's that because I assume any repairs/parts for the diff would not be cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Droplinks are a known weak point could also be worn arb bushes Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 And of course, these work trips at 80mph are all on private roads or abroad ..... 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
