I've got a Morris Dancer hiding under my car...

[glasgowkiss]

Hi

I own a 1992, W124, 300D, auto. It's great.

There is a slight drone/whine from the rear, but everything "feels" ok and I'll get round to investigating that later.

My problem seems to be that each time, I run over a drain cover, small bump, rumble strip etc, the rear passenger side wheel makes a jingling, rattling sort of noise.

I've checked exhaust mountings, heat shields, suspension components, brake shoes, hub, and so on.

However I can't seem to find where the Morris Dancer is trapped, but he's there...he's definitely there!!!

Do any of you clever chappies have any ideas?

Cheers

Broken spring-sometimes difficult to see?

stone in bottom of spring housing, or as Greame says, broken spring.

Broken spring-sometimes difficult to see?

I removed a broken spring from my rear brake that cured the noise under braking.

Wheel off, disc\drum off and have a look.

Try inspecting the shock absorber mounting fasteners. Another possibility is loose items in your boot that may jingle or tingle - giving an impression its coming from the rear road wheels ....

Hi guys

... and I thought the nutters on the Landyzone forum (who help me with the ailments of my 1972 Landy) were all mad... however I see that you guys are the same. I'm going to like being a member of this group.

I will spend some time over the weekend trying these ideas out, and I particularly like the idea that it may be something in the boot!

Cheers

Seems to be a sensible idea! Clear all the clutter from inside the car and try again....

I had a similar problem in a W123 afew years ago. Having spent good money after bad it was discovered that a few loose tools in the spare wheel well were the culprit. You cant rubbish any suggestions as it boils down to experience
