Odd sounds coming from the rear of our 01 cobra
The wife's cobra has been parked for awhile. Got it out today to take the kid to school and noticed that there are some odd squeaks coming from the from the right rear. Seems rotation related as the more speed you get up the more prominent the noises are.
Could this be a halfshaft? If I remember correctly, there were some odd bumps/knocks coming from that area the night we parked it a couple of months ago. |
check to see if your bearings have play in them the cant be packed guess thats why they r so cheap but they have to be pressed in and out already replaced mine not even 50,000 mile but o'rielys has them. my right side was bad i just did both sides.

which bearings? Carrier?
|
i know i dont have irs but my car sounds like that after it sat from brian building the tranny so yea i would try the hub first
|
on the irs the hub(the part that has the lug studs) it presses into the bearing those have any slack jack it up and see if you get any play in the wheel moving! i found mine while changing my street tires to my drag radials.

Or you could just swap out the IRS for a solid axle, I tell you what I will give you the privilage of swapping it with the stick axle in my '95 Cobra, I won't even charge you.....

Sucks to be to broke to buy diesel :jester: |

I drove the BMW enough to ruin my hub. . . but I also put over 5,000 interstate miles on it after I started noticing the noise. :D |
