Strange rear noise from Tamora
Discussion
I have recently noticed a strange noise coming from the back of my Tamora. The easiest way to describe it is as a ‘twanging sound’, like flicking elastic bands.
It is most noticeable when pulling onto a driveway at 45 degrees. The axle is at its greatest articulation and as you pull on you hear a ‘twing, tang’ noise from the rear suspension area. I don’t know if it happens on the move as it isn’t a loud enough noise to hear over the engine, wind, etc..
I have taken it into my local garage, Central TVR and had it up on the ramp. Nothing appears to be broken or damaged. They thought it might be the rear shocks that needed re greasing, which they did but this doesn’t appear to have made any difference.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what it could be? Cheers.

Apparently it is very common and only happens at low speed on tight turns. Something to do with the bushes but nothing at all to be worried about. I noticed mine did it once on the way to Le Mans and I panicked thinking the shocks had gone. Took it into Barnet TVR who told me that it is nothing to worry about and is very common, bit like the clunking you get first time in full lock......just another TVR thing. Worth getting a piece of mind check though....quick up on the ramps and a couple of quid in the hand should put your mind at ease
