banging defender

blackbeltbob:
need all your proffesional opinions!!!
I use the defender a lot for off road work, mainly in fields and soft roads etc. While driving in these conditions there are no strange noises, however when I go on harder rocky ground I have banging sounds which"feel" as though they are coming from the front end. Either the suspention or steering I am not sure. They are not very load bangs.
Any suggestions? :?:

Sharpshooter:
Could be stones eing thrown up by the wheels. Its usually something simple. Do you have Mud Terrain tyres? They are renowned for this.

Also, make sure your shocker bushes are ok. When mine went on the 110, they were very sloppy, and banging, but only every now and then.

blackbeltbob:
yes got mud terrains on but dont think it is them. the suspension bushes sound more like it. many thanks.

Pike:
probably bottom or top shock bushes my disco did it

Edge:
Does it clunk/knock if you drive forward a couple of metres then SLAM the anchors on?
