I recently bought a manual 2003 Suberty LIberty 2.5 RX privately with 190,000kms. When I brought the car home which was a 25 minute drive from where I picked it up from, I noticed the car making a thudding sound and it felt as though the wheels were hopping when i turned corners at low speed. When i test drove the car this sound wasnt there as I only drove for 10 mins or so. It seems to only happen after the car has been driven for a while. This has been on going now and my mechanic thought it was a loose power steering belt. The noise it still there and I have been told by another mechanic that it could be the CV shafts but he was not certain. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem or knows what it could be.

 

Thanks

loose timing belt o.O

 

i'd be thinking CV's binding

Wot suby says.

The centre diff warms up with a bit of driving and binds - then this forces the front wheels to skip when turning, as they're going the wrong speed.

Best felt in slippery shopping centre car parks after a long drive

Its already been said but defiantly sounds like the center diff, I drove my friends car down to the coast and when we got to the hotel it did the same thing and i shit my pants cause i thought i broke his car. but because i was in a very slippery underground car park it felt terrible and 10x worse and thats what got diagnosed as the fault.
