Hi everyone, I'm really frustrated that my Ford Focus has developed a clunking noise. I firstly noticed a slight clunk when releasing the clutch pedal (after the biting point) and sometimes when i press it down.

But yesterday it also happened when I was applying the breaks, when coming to a full stop it, it happened just before I stopped or halfway. And the break clunk sounds like its coming from the right wheel side but it hasn't happened today

Finally I also get a clunk when doing a 3 point turn, again its a single clunk but not on full lock, it happens before that and sometimes when turning either side. These clunks/knocks are random and hard to recreate.

The thing that annoys me is that they appeared after I had a clutch and slave cylinder change last week , brought it back to them and they checked for play in the wheels on the ramp and other noise but couldn't recreate the noise. Just blamed it on a loose exhaust mount/heat-shields. First I thought maybe they didn't change the slave cylinder, which would explain the clutch clunk noise but now I'm not sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Car is Ford Focus (2006), with 100K+ on the clock

It could be a engine/gearbox mount not properly fitted back or tightened after the clutch job, you could try to hold the brakes and release the clutch intermittent to see if you can recreate the noise.

Just returned from a drive, no clunks. Did 4 turns in the road, went over speed bumps with no clunks, also hit the gas couple of times in 3rd and then releasing it with no clunking. Only heard a slight clunk once when creeping in 1st up to a roundabout. Will try to catch it on dash cam when it does it again.

Will try, thank you! :)
