For the rear you use IFS rear leafsprings and 200mm lo...

Play in front drivetrain

Hi,

Had the rear propshaft out on my SFA and took vehicle in for a spin in FWD but whenever I accelerate I get a rocking thumping sound. The same happens when I release the accelerator pedal.

Is it due to worn out bushes or mounts?
