Thread: Tingy noise

I don't know what a tingy noise is, but have you checked the double cardon joint uni's on the front prop shaft for damage?
I expect this is the first thing a landy specialist would check, however better safe than sorry.
If this is the problem, do not drive anywhere until you get it fixed.

I get under the car and tighten these up, and hey presto, the tickings gone!

I reckon it's worth checking these bolts BEFORE checking your driveshafts, only as it's a damn sight cheaper and an easy job, even for those with non-mechanicing skills (like me!)
I ended up putting spring washers on mine back then, and I haven't had the same issue return since.

The landrover guy thought it was a cv as it sounded like it was coming from the wheel. He checked the universals and prop shafts he said they look good.
