DRC and problems
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2015 9:19 pm
How does DRC work ? ,
Do opposite corners of the car work together or is it side for side of the car ?
I have Two issues , front and back axles
Have a squeak on the back OS , and at the same time I've developed a thump on the front NS .
Rear OS , Initial investigation shows the rear noise is from the damper ram . this happens with forward/rearward motion and side to side motion as well . First thought was it was a bush or ARB bush. Damper doesnt appear to be leaking either.
Also developed a Front NS thump over the smallest of pot holes ( similar in sound to driving with a broken ARB) . Had something similar on the Front OS when I bought the car , which Audi Tamworth cured by draining and refilling the system ( according to them, but I wasn't paying, the seller was). An MOT tester mate has had the car on the ramp today , but cant find anything visually wrong with the front axle . No play in arms or bushes ect .
I'm wondering if DRC works on a diagonal or side to side basis on these cars. If its diagonal , then my problems are probably related. especially if its down to low pressure in the system.
Also noticed the car is sitting down a little and to one side at the rear OS , which is where the squeak is.
MRC cant get it in for a fortnight . I understand they are doing DRC work/stuff these days ( will confirm on the phone tomorrow)
Anyone priced a single damper unit from a stealer before ?
