R34Nigel Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hello all, Where I live I have to go over several speed bumps on my way to and from work every day. I have recently noticed a noise coming from the car as I roll on and roll off the throttle approaching the speed bumps. Its a metallic "click" which varies in volume and to all intense and purposes sound like slop in the drivetrain. Could it be something to do with the propshaft? someone has suggested that it may be a drop link, or some other part of the suspension. Any help or advice would be good as I was hoping to pinpoint the issue before taking it to the incompetent bunch that is Nissan MK. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Gearbox or engine mount ? How many miles you got ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) can you see the gearstick move when you go on/off the throttle ? likely suspects are ...droplinks, drive shafts, mounts difficult to diagnose without hearing/seeing, could be an exhaust mount, there is a lot of movement when going on/off throttle Probably worth doing a visual check on the rear springs .. Count the coils, very common for these to break Edited September 8, 2014 by GIXXERUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R34Nigel Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 If I drive with both windows down its much louder on the passenger side.. Are the any specialists near to Milton Keynes that might be able to diagnose the issue rather than take it to Nissan? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
