weird noise in the 80

Post by BIG PUMPER »

been getting a tink-tink noise coming from the under carriage of my cruiser for a while now and can't seem to find what it is, it happens when i take off or sometimes just when i accelerate, it doesn't sound like a missing gear anywhere in the system and the gearbox, centre diff and front and rear diff feel perfect while driving. I've had the wheels off all round looking at the brakes as i thought it might just be a rock but it was all clear, any ideas on what this noise could be???
