Hi everybody
i have done a bit of reading and seems like others have had clunks in the front end and usually it’s the bottom arm bushes.
I am getting a knock which is most noticeable when taking off or coming to a stop. It’s just a single clunk. I would award it was the gearbox month but it’s perfect. Have had mechanics look over it and they can’t see anything. I’ve replaced all front bushes except for sway bar but they are fine. I have new shocks as well as new discs and pads. Other engine mounts are fine. CV joints feel ok there is no knocking when cornering. I have also replaced the exhaust coupling at the exhaust manifold as that was knacked. Still no good. The car has done close to 400,000ks so going well but this is very very annoying. Anyone have any other ideas???
thanks
Marcus
