Hi out there, I have noticed I have developed a sort of drumming or drone type noise. Not speed related as far as I can tell. I have had a lot ow work done underneath, All bushes on each corner, brakes, disks etc. And have tyres only about 200 miles old. Is this a common thing for our Zeds or is there something happening under there I should know about.

That doesn't sound good :(

Sounds like a wheel bearing possibly?

Prop bearing?

 

Any vibration?

I had a drumming sound in my car last year. Turned out Cozy Powell was living in my boot.

Wow cozy Powell you must have a shit hot boot mate. lol

Helpful as ever :rofl: :rofl:

No no vibration, I will get prop shaft checked out, wheel bearings are fine it appears.

 

Thank you

must be the donut.

have you uprated diff/subframe bushings? mine are and i get more vibration now :(

I have just had all the bushes done top and bottom at each corner, along with new brakes, discs etc.

yeah but are the diff ones uprated or just standard?

Well, it appears that because I left my zed sitting for about 5 months both back tyres have gone a bit out of shape. Not much, but I recon that probably causes that rumbling at the rear. Cause I never had it befor I put the car away. And when they were recently balanced the guy said they were both out of shape a bit. If I drive on them are they likely to get better. (warm up and go back to normal) or not.
