Metal sound in the when driving over bumpers or bad road

Postby johnniek2 » Sun Oct 15, 2017 10:34 pm

Hi Everybody,
In my Ford Transit Custom (2014), I have strated hearing a sound on my right side front wheel every once and then, not all the time but very often.
Asound like Like a hitting metal on metal kind of sound the when driving over bumpers or bad road.
does anybody have a clue what this could be and how to diagnose it properly.
Thanky for your help

All nicely paved nowadays I believe....although one can take "alternate routes" if one so desires...lots of nowhere to get lost in and plenty of hardly used dirt/sand roads to get bogged..! We've had people die out there when their vehicle gets bogged or breaks down... :shock:
