the wheel isnt catching on the wheel arch or the bit of plastic under the arch? This would only happen whilst travelling and not stationary.

Do you have bigger tyres than normal?

Piglet has 4 of them.......

However .... check yon wheelnuts, the radius arm bolts, the nuts/bolts in the shock tower, the shock nuts.... basically anything that will move when travelling. The bounce check is no test as you are only moving up/down, not diagonally.

right after spending the last couple of days looking for this rattle/grinding noise i have still had no joy i cant find any thing loose or worn or busted so is it just a case of running with the prob until it breaks or just slowly replacing things like springs shocks bushes etc .im sure its suspension related as it only happens when i go over bumps dips or ruts arhhhhh this blinking land rover i driving me mad!!!!!!!! its such a shame cause i love the bloody thing oh well thats life i suppose! :x  :x  :x  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

Peasey how long does the noise go on for ie just as the spring is compressed or longer. If longer can you stop it by applying the brakes.

no the high pitch noise only starts when the motor goes down a dip in the road and then stops but the ratlle is there all the time and i can live with that its just the loud noise when the suspension compreses that im bothered about im certain that its suspension related
