Since completing my renovation and driving the car for the first time I found it to be excessively noisy.
I jumped to the conclusion that it was rear axle/diff so dismantled and checked, all things looked good.
It was still the same noise so fitted new Cw & Pinion etc. All to no avail just the same sound.
An A7 friend accompanied me in the car recently and described the sound as being very “rough grating” but probably not the back axle. The sound is possibly transmitted into the body by the torque tube socket which may be too tight also very close to and possibly touching the bodywork. How tight should this be?
Transmission is Hardy Spicer and in good condition.
Where else could the cause of this annoying sound be originating from.
The car is 1933 RP box.
