Thread: Perentie 6x6 noise from the front when decending into a creek

Any experience with this or next best, any theories?

Thanks in advance to all that respond.

It could be a few things, Suspension bushes wear, panhard rod, front radius rod, coil spring dislocated or broken, shockie rubbers u/s. Get underneath and check them all out. Process of elimination I am afraid!!!!

I have looked underneath but can't anything obvious. I would hope my mechanic did the same (but with more knowledge than I).

I was hoping it was something common and someone could save me some drama.

I think I will get my wife to drive while I walk close by (risk acknowledged!) and maybe we can pin point it that way.
