P38A New clunk!

Jake Hewitt · Sep 27, 2015

Did a quick search but didn't come up with much.

I just fixed my main clunking which occurred when pulling off, reversing, turning etc. This was an absolutely obliterated prop shaft uj. I now have a new, much gentler clunk. This appears when stationary or moving very slowly. Just when I was about to pull off from the lights, I felt a bump through the steering wheel. Ideas?

Pedestrian? Look for blood on the tyre.

Once more, you are right again. Or perhaps I wish, It'd save me some money!

Did you run over an angry dwarf with a hammer?

I might have... Should I maybe check underneath? Are they known to cling on for a while?

Best method is to park it in a river (12 inch deep is enough) and drown the little feker.

CV joint / half-shaft?

I'd get a pry bar and give all linkages on drag bar etc a wiggle.

Still havnt found my clunk get it when I go forwards n backwards on lock last thing left is my drag link, keep looking lol

Steering damper, drop links, ball joints and anti roll bar bushes all usual suspects

Right, so my front bushes are absolutely rotten! Account for the left/right steering play as well when hitting bumps. Will order from a stealers and fit when I get back to London. Indie cleared the faults from my new binnacle too, very, very reasonable price. Very happy.
