Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys i have a strange noise coming from the floor i can feel and hear it when im taking off or turning right i have checked all body mounts which are about a year old with the body lift, engine mounts are all good im heading towrds the floor pan ive heard that the patrols had a problem just not sure what im looking for and where, i had a look underneith amd it looks fine i found a section that will pop in and out but i cant see this causing it.

any help or info would be much appreciated

cheers paul

is it a knocking sound?

i had a cracked floor pan under all the pedals. Welded up the cracks and all is fine now.

my gq did the same and it clunked under the floor every now n then and when i turned right, i checked mine out and found it to be 2 flogged out radius arm bushes i changed them and it has been perfect ever since, just get a big screw driver and lever your radius arms near the bushes and if u hear a clunk there is your problem

yeah it is knocking sound but it sounfds differnt to the knock i had with the body mounts i will take the carpet out and have a look,
with the radius arm bushes which ones you talking about where mounts to the chassis or the diff?

cheers paul

I had a similar noise in mine which I thought was body mounts but it ended up being the front right skirt spotwelds had come off the drivers from pillar.

It was easy to fix though just by welding the skirt back on. It's a pretty common problem to apparently.

Exactly where is this skirt and pillar on the front right?

I have been looking for the source of this noise for four years now. In that time I have replaced all bushes imaginable on the vehicles front end and triple checked all body mounts. And Ive checked every square inch of flooring for cracks or loose spot welds.

Remove the body mount and check where the bolt goes through the base of the channel section underneath the floor pan for cracking. Usually the base of the channel section cracks and needs re-enforcing. Also check where the floor pan meets the firewall--just underneath the fuse box for cracks.

You have to take the front guards off and remove the plenom panel as well and you will see where the skirt joins the front pillar.



This picture will explain it a bit better.

Mines cracked in the same spot, can just see it with the drivers door open

Should you fully weld this or just stitch weld it up?

mine cracked about 6 inches further forward and welded it up but now i have another noise comming from the same area guess ill have to pull it apart again and have a looksee

My shortie cracked here too, I put a diagonal mount to the inner gaurd as this is the cure Nissan have adopted on the GU, if you remove the gaurd you can see, as well as welding up the cracks. I also had a loud crack that turned out to be flogged out bonnet hinge pins.
