Hey guys, as i said i have been looking for this sound for a while. it only happens under acceleration and is coming from rear right hand wheel area. Its a clicking, ticking noise and it seems to speed up as i accelerate. its not there while rolling only under load. Changed wheel bearing, sussed out drums, took fuel filler protecter thing off,..... my rear control arm bushes are pretty worn???
any help would be sweet,
cheers

If this was front discs, i would say its your brake pads chattering, as my old Vit did that... but rear drums... hmmm... not sure...
But here is a stupid question... have you checked your tyre to see if you have picked up any metal or rocks in the tread, as they will definitely make a ticking noise that goes faster as you go faster...

check your uni's, put a THIN layer of grease inbetween the drum & the axel mounting surface.

Get a new Mrs..

[Lokidog]

A new Mrs is cheaper too.

My missus wouldn't dream of making me sell the zook.























However, nothing would stop her from making me buy another car if necessary!

I've stripped drums off and get the mrs to slightly depress the brake pedal and handbrake, while i turn the wheel......nothing, sweet F A . A new set of bearings and shoes is next
