Help Needed To Identify Strange Noise

[Twitch]

Hi guys,

 

I have recently bought another Ke55. I have stripped everything out of the boot and I STILL get a noise when I am driving. It starts when there are any bumps or inconsistancy in the road and can be heard most when driving at crawl to low speed. It has a dull base sound like a tennis ball bumping around in the spare tyre hold. It is present from the time I drive off and is consistant with something loose that only wobbles or makes noise when there are bumps of any sort.

 

Any suggestions would be most appreciated as I am going crackers trying to figure this one out!

have you got a mate to get the car rocking up and down so you can hunt for the sound?

No, but I have bounced the car up and down and it doesn't seem to make ANY noise and all

Check your exhaust system - it could be vibrating on something

The exhaust has recently been fixed and it still remains persistant. It's more of a bobble sound rather than a vibration, like something loose or bumping from movement or bumps.

rear shocks could be worn out,maybe it rattles when you hit a bump?

i had a similar noise in my ke30, turned out to be the shockers/shocker bushes. i replaced the shockers and bushes, no sound at all now. also could be leaf eye bushes as mine were worn through when i pulled my leafs out.

I had a sound that occured when cornering. Turned out that a fuel cap had shit itself and half of it was in the tank.
