Doesn’t sound good.
Driving along, car made a loud dull bang in the back. Thought my toolbox had just fallen over. Then a bit down the road it was making the noise in the video - seemingly from the front left. Then it stopped. Drove around a bit more, the back made 2 or 3 loud thud/bangs again. I stopped and had a look but couldn’t see anything.
Jacked up the back, both rear wheels seemed fine (ran ok, bearings seemed on), front left wheel also seemed ok.
Annoyingly the noise in the video went away so I couldn’t see if it changed pitch when I changed gears but kept road speed the same.
My hope is that it was just something caught/lodged somewhere that worked itself free.
I drove around for 20 mins trying to recreate the noise to no avail. A good sign I hope.
Sold the Astra. £500, done.
