Bell sound when bouncing on something

[Skydance]

Today, I fitted a small strip of sound deadening lengthwise on the back of the steering damper bell end so you can’t see it from the front and it 100% works. It doesn’t interfere with anything

Love that church bell Easter egg!

When would you hear it during the normal course of driving?

Possibly the first detuned Grenadier? No more bell ringing for you

Good morning everyone,
I’m experiencing the exact same “bell” cling sound coming from the undercarriage whenever I go over a sharp bump, even at moderate speed.
I’ve read about the known steering damper issue, and while that explanation makes sense, in my case the noise is definitely coming from the rear, where there is no such parts. I’ve crawled under the vehicle but haven’t been able to identify anything loose or visibly out of place.
Any insight or suggestions from the community would be greatly appreciated!. I have attached a video to demonstrate.

Just tape something to the steering dampener housing… if the sound changes pitch, then you know that’s the source.. if no change.. then something else is causing it… don’t trust your ear.. sound travels in unexpected manners

yes you maybe right.... I might here it comming from the rear when it actually comes from the front .... will put some tape around it a go for a test drive.

hi, you can simply remove the steering damper for a few km and check if that is actually the one making the noise. it will probably be him.
I attach a photo of the solution I adopted.

Ok so I Temporarely applied tape around the steering damper housing and the "bell" cling stopped ... gone. I now have a a solid answer . Tahnk you all very much !

Hopefully he doesn’t crash from a death wobble when it is removed lol

During my holidays in June, the bell sound came back and became worse, see my first post on this thread and some other people experienced the same.

As it is clearly the inner and outer sleeve of the steering damper, bouncing against each other, and as i didn't see loose nuts, and as I didn't have the material to try the solution of @Skydance in this post in this thread:

... and as i was fed up, I tried another solution.
I drunk a bottle of some power drink, good for everything, including the reproductive system (I didn't try this), I had a clever idea (although I say it myself ) and adapted the text of the bottle:

I did cut the bottom and top of the bottle, did cut the side wall and did slide the cylinder over the steering damper as shown in the next picture. The original one is still inside, because, while making the pictures today, I couldn't slide my "new" bottle further than shown on the (a bit blurry) picture.

No bell sound anymore

To keep within impartiality rules, it is fair to say other drinks manufacturers bottles are available
