CV joints would be my best guess... and it's only a guess... I'm assuming that this happens when you're traveling at high speed son the highway or when traveling up hill. I had the same thing happen to me on a long road trip through two mountains passes between Seattle, WA and Sebastopol, CA. You might want to look there...
Myles -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of Norman Owen Tomalin Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 9:22 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: 1983.5 with 108,000 miles
My 1983.5 water cooled 1.9L Camper developed a regular progressively louder knocking and vibration emanating from the vicinity of the left rear wheel. Which disappeared when depressing the clutch pedal and was not a permanent ailment. A close look at that wheel assembly and down through the engine access area revealed no obvious complaint. Any suggestions as to where I might look to find the source of this issue?
