have this noise coming from my 69 kombi
sound like right in the middle of the front seats under the van
when driving smooth road nothing but if bumpy it gets quite loud like something is loose.if i stop the van and bounce the vehicle nothing ive got under and grabbed every part i can find but nothing
only thing i could find was some play in rh wheel could this xause it as its only when car is going and road rough it happens
steering damper rubbers???
Keeping it real !
Shock or ball joint is most common cause of noises. Just using your hand isn't enough to check ball joints or tie rod ends. Also need to check centre pin for play

ok this is what ive found
steering damper is shot can wiggle it around ,also centre pin has movement up and down about 2mm this is by hand
holding onto top arm so does this mean i need to change bushes and if so is it a hard thing to do and is there a section on here showing u how to do it
Centre pin bushes is quite a job for the inexperienced as you need special tools such as a mandrel to drive out the bush's and drive in the new ones without damage. The tie rods and steering drag link also need to be removed, but you want to test these first by squeezing them with a pair of multigrips, any up and down movement within the joint and it needs replacement. Now two hammers can work on separating the tie rod ends and you can make a drift, but a relatively good workshop and tools would be best. A wheel alignment is also necessary after the job.
