Thread: clunking sound coming to a stop

because you mentioned "out of gear" too .. I would say less likely to be a clutch issue.

could be a myriad of things, but I would start by removing the handbrake drum(assuming you do your own work) because it could be a free and easy fix.
pull the drum off, and check shoes for out of round wear, debris, oil contamination... mechanical stuff working ok, like springs ... etc.

Check UJ’s ?

Thank you, appreciate your responses. Cheers.

Hi Vee One, hope your experience is less costly than mine. I had a similar noise and checked out all the obvious suspects myself, but it was finally correctly diagnosed by two indies as gearbox, and a rebuild cured it. Didn’t do much for the bank balance, though! Mine has done about 380k, so it’s probably longer than it was designed to last.
Fingers crossed for you.
Woolly.

+1 to all suggestions above and add perhaps a caliper is loose?

Had a case on a VicHigh trip once where one of our group experienced similar symptions.

Discovered that one of the pins holdinthe g the brake pads in was missing. When under brakes the pad was partly popping out and knocking on the lead balance weights on the wheel.

A piece of the trusty old fencing wire temporarily fixed the problem until a 'Landy Nut' was located near Corryong and was able to supply a correct replacement pin from one of the numerous Landy's parked in his paddock.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't had time to investigate but hopefully not the g.b.
The clunk only only occurs when out of gear or clutch in and when down to a a 'fast-walk' speed, it doesn't present when in gear/being driven.

Before you go to too much trouble, adjust the handbrake as per the workshop manual. I had a similar problem occur in a 300TDI Defender and it turned out be the handbrake out of adjustment. I think about 1/2 a turn on the nut solved it.
