VeccyB....any ideas?
« on: 01 February 2007, 21:15:24 »
It clonks when going over bumps.....its done a fair few miles now...over 180k

Comes from the front i think

Ive had engine/gearbox mounts changed. They were loose/tired

Also roll bar bushes changed..this week...as that was the last diagnosis of what had play in it.

Nothing else seems worn/loose according to garage.

Only thing i can think off is exhaust clonking about.....it had a new one a few months ago.

Im going to get its legs up in the air next week for another check......but if anyones got any ideas why its doing it.....it'll be much appreciated  :y

Cheers

my moiney would be on worn strut top bearings/bushes  at that mileage!!!

its basically a largew rubber donut at he top of the strut that looks very much like the rear donut bushes on the Omega, they dont so much wear but distort,
if you compare old with new you can see what i mean!!

If it was rear I would say trailing arm rose bushes......

Front....drop links, wishbones and then possibly strutt top mount.
