Drive shaft hitting the ARB

Try fitting shorter drop links

booooooooooom chewy gets 10 points.
pm'd you back too fella

yup, i also suffer from this horrible horrible noise. it is indeed as chewy says, the driveshaft knocking on the arb. Shortened droplinks should sort the problem, but i have replaced the droplinks twice with shorter ones each time and the noise is still there, just less often.

Could also be ARB bushes going. I have this on mine. Only when slow in tight parking maneuvers.

i also get this noise sometimes but i found it was the droplink rubbing on the plastic mud gaurd but not much you can do if it is that really just dont turn full lock lol
