90toydolphin Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 if only makes noise when moving look for something as simple as a twig caught underneath hitting the wheel or ground when moving. might be wind moving something stuck into the a belt for fan too. good luck.

Derek up North Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Loose lug nuts? A bad bearing I'd describe more a 'grumble' or a 'growl', not a 'knock'. Does the noise change when going around a curve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufbooth Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 It might be your speedmeter cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiter Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Tire with flat spot or internal separation. Swap tires between left and right side. While you have the tire off, look at tie rods, bearings, etc. John Mc 88 Dolphin 4 Auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad bearing I'd describe more a 'grumble' or a 'growl', not a 'knock'. Does the noise change when going around a curve?quote No change in noise when turning, its only a high rpm event(the noise)> its a deep, yet faint knock. Nothing in tires or nothing stuck on belt or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUntsman Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Does your rig have tie rods? They can knock if they are worn. good call . i m starting to suspect that now. the front tie rods absorb a lot of weight, especially descending. i m always on rough forest roads, and stuff. thanks for everyone s suggestions.
