Anyone help diagnosing my clonking noise!

ive got this clonking/spring twanging type noise coming from the front drivers side. Its happening on articulation and some times when pulling off/stopping. i thought it was bushes but isnt. ive replaced the springs, shocks and turrets and it still does it!


Have a listen to this. 14-18 seconds in your can clearly hear it. 2:35-2:50 you can clearly hear it

Have you jacked the front up lately? Mine did that when I tried to change both front wheels by jacking the diff. It was the drivers side spring that had got itself out of position.

Fixed it by jacking just the noisy side until the wheel was off the ground with a high lift jack and the spring seemed to sort itself out.

ill give it a whirl, but ive only got a normal trolley jack. The front end has been completely off a few times while changing the suspension.

It does sound like a spring doesnt it. no chance it may be swivels or the UJ's in the axle or something? or would i get other symptons too.

EDIT: the landy isnt lifted, its normal height. Ive fitted flat dog normal height normal weight springs front and rear and also koni shocks. its got flat dog shock towers too. could the spring be disolocating, or does this only happen on extreme suspension setups?

You need to lift the chassis so the wheel hangs down and extends the spring. I'm guessing mine was out of its normal position and once it sprung back it sorted it out.
