Death Rattle?

Radius arms/ panhard

Radius arms:

Radius arms connect to the axle housing one on each side, and then connect to the frame of the vehicle, a good but not always accurate test is to stop the vehicle abruptly while going slow, and let it whiplash you back and forth. If there good, there will be no noise, if there is noise, it could be them or the panhard rod.

Ace

Also, I don't know if your model came with the ACE system or not. I'm not showing a listing in my manual for a 95, but if it does have one, try pulling the fuse and take it for a test drive, the ACE system could be causing this, I just don't think your vehicle has this.

Just had tires balanced and they checked out. Pan hard rod bushings just replaced....I will check the radius arm bushings. Do they have to be pressed?

must press in bushings

I used a press on my friends Rover, but there’s two on the axle housing and one that goes to the frame.

Let me know how this goes, and we’ll go from there.

Good luck………………Chongo

Gonna take it to a local shop........"British 4X4" here in Jacksonville, FL. Great guys and I know that they can find it. All other bushings seem to be in good order so it may be those swivel pins. Stay tuned.

Well, I have to say that I overlooked the obvious in this one. It was the front shocks. I guess I couldn't see the forest for all of the trees in my way. Once I realized what it was I have to say that I was a little embarassed. Now all is well. Thanks Chongo and Joey.
