I am running a Shimano FHM475 rear hub with the stock freehub.
Recently I have noticed that there is a lot of chatter coming from the rear pn anything other than smooth ground. I suspected a loose chain but removing a few links didn't help.
Yesterday I put a different wheel in and the noise was gone. Examination of the first wheel shows that there is a few mm of lateral /up down float movement on the cassette that seems to be coming from the freehub. wheel bearings seem fine and there is no rock.
Cassette lock ring is tight.
I can't say I've ever experienced this before usually my freehub fail when they fail to engage. Is this likely to be a freehub issue that a new body will fix?
