I have an intermittent noise from the rear, I have the usual high level brake light or tailgate rattle with isn’t an issue however even less likely is a rumble from the rear, possibly N/S. Car driver perfectly, goes, brakes and steers great. Occurs at low speeds, generally 1st and 2nd gears on smooth ground, however i do feel bumpy ground aggravates it. To describe is it sound like when you see an unfortunate car drive pass with a completely flat tyre, that rumble type noise. Checked my rear tyres and they’re fine and hold pressure well. Noise doesn’t increase or decrease with speed, so possible not hub bearing or stepped tyres.
Checks done so far are:
Tailgate hatch and boot pops open correctly.
All wheel nuts are tight.
Boot interior trim mounts, tight and secure.
Spare wheel, jack and tools secure.
Rear struts are secure and hold the tailgate up no problem.
Rear diff oil is at its max mark and golden in colour.
Next check will be exhaust heat shields then suspension arms, but it doesn’t sound like an exhaust type rattle or suspension with would tend to knock not rumble?
Anyone had a similar issue?
