D85 Botvac: clunking noise while operating.

D85 Botvac is working fine, but now has a loud knocking/clunking sound when maneuvering. It is intermittent. I service clean the brush and bearings almost every run. I have tightened up the wheel hubs, so that is not the issue. At a loss.

So the clunking turned out to be the brush motor becoming loose from the brush gearbox.

I removed the gearbox from the D85 and put blue thread-locker on the motor mount screws. I also added a thin nylon washer between the main transmission gear and the gearbox.

Everything is perfecto now.
