SteveW Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Bit of an odd one this but recently the front end has developed a single clunk noise when sometimes turning full lock and close to full lock at slow speeds. For example pulling out of a parking space or when I get to work I'll drive into one space then reverse back into the one opposite. As you straighten the wheels to reverse the clunk occasionally rears its head. It can be felt through the steering wheel. Any thoughts? Also the rear passenger side has developed a hollow sounding clunk on rough surfaces. I'm guessing a bush? Which would be the prime candidates?

DoogyRev Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I would say its your bushes I am sure someone else will be along to confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diab2005 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Mine has started doing that when I reverse!! I started thinking it might be something thats frozen over as only happens if car has been stationary in the cold for a long time...just a thought though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started thinking it might be something thats frozen over as only happens if car has been stationary in the cold for a long time...just a thought though If it is just rear it will almost certainly be the handbrake stuck, mine has always done it especially when standing for a bit after being in the wet.... Sounds horrible like something just fell off If you are parked on the flat leave the handbrake off and the car in gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bockaaarck Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 SteveW, as DoogyRev's said there's a chance its the bushes from what you've described. Could also potentially be the ball joint if its making a solid 'klunk' and you can sense it. I'm sure one of the technical wizards will be along give you a better informed view though, as I am a bit of a mechanical spud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
