Hello all,

I am currently restoring the soarer after it has sat for 18 months now.

and one of the last things to fix was the MASSIVE axel tramp it had, even at grandma levels of acceleration, idd get bang-b-b-b-b-bang, noise is sounds like its comming from the rear passenge side.

anyhoo, it has new coilovers in it now (no change) and all of the bushed look rather decent except these two...




Is this the issue? if so any information as to the options and where to get them would be appreciated.

Grandma levels of acceleration won't incite axle tramp. What causes tramping is where the tyres are just on the verge of spinning, Not fully spinning but starting to lose traction.

I'd suggest checking your engine mounts and trans mount, Maybe tailshaft uni's/flex joints.

Exhaust might be hitting the underside of the car.

Unless you mean 'grandma acceleration' as in 7k sidesteps and general flogging the crap out of your car.

If that's the case then you can get insert kits for the rear cradle and diff mounts from superpro that fill the voids with polyurethane and take up the slack. Doesn't totally fix tramp but helps a lot. (Commonly called 'pineapples')

I havnt had a chance to look under the car, been away on work, i'll check the mounts up front too.

The noise may not be axle tramp, but its the same sound and happens at even stop start driving, lots of quick succession banging from the back left.

So that gap and rubbing on the body in the pics is normal???

You need my alloy bush replacements to take all the compliance out of the subframe and diff :-)
