KarlW Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 The cars got a quite hefty clunk or knock from front end. Its just had a new clutch so whilst in the garage I asked them to fix the noise. They can't find it ! They've tried all the bushes, linkages, etc, everything seems to be order but yet I still have this heavy clunky noise. My gut feeling is that its not directly connected suspension, could be wrong ! So what else could it be ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 When does the clunk happen, turning from lock to lock? Could be top mounts, over rough roads rattling all the time .could be drop links, the odd bang over a hump? Could be subframe, a bit more detail could help.

KarlW Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi there ! Well its general driving, potholes (plenty!), road bumps, the usual stuff on a daily commute on Britain's well maintained roads...There seems no particular way of making it worse or better. They checked top mounts and even replaced the drop links as a matter of course almost. That's what makes this an odd one, they put car on MOT ramp and joggled, pushed and generally did all they could and came up with nothing. They're good guys too, not a back street bodge shop. Shocks have been mentioned but I've never heard a set of shocks make this noise ! lol .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Well it could be the shock absorbers, it could just be normal, has this just started or has it got worse? i had a lot of noise that is commonly called bumb thump, disappeared with new shocks and top mounts, no wiggling showed up the fault. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
