Thread: Rear Suspension "CLUNK"???

I have a ten tonne press, so no issue there, will have a look this week. Thanks.

Check your upper and lower shock mount bushes
Check tail pipe mounts
Watts link bushes are a good culprit for this.Not hard to change if you have the gear.


Cricky that takes guts, Watts is the main mechanism keeping the ass end of the car under itself.

He's talking about taking the sway bar in and out, not the watts, if he did she would prob fall over going down the road.

Mine clicks bangs and clunks all the time, ive put it down to 10 yr old bushes and more recently 18months of abuse. If its going to be in the region of $200 of bushes it mite be worth just getting the Les Richmond cranked watts arms so then you get all your bushes and an upgrade in one go.

Off topic SWMBO was complaining about the clunking of my suspension set up so to fix it i have bought all after market arms front and rear with Currie joints all round. "I orderd the stuff to fix the clunk love"

Wish I could read, sorry about that

[FONT=""][COLOR=""][SIZE=""]Its funny I was going to post a similar thread but thought it was just mine,mine was ok but recently had bags replaced with coils which seems to give it small lift but was told it was up to normal height now,started the same clunk as described right after even after replacing dampers all round.any ideas'thanks in advance[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

It was just the sway bar!
It was one of those mods I "had to try" after a recommendation.
But TBH, I found very little difference, so put it back on!

My bad, I didn't read your post properly and had 10 other things floating around i'n the head.

Just remembered , a mate has ACE and the link arms needed replacing , they clunked around badly.

Which Provider?

I have also found complete (front and rear) urethene kits for about 90GBP, but need to determine how "complete" they are.

Also, where is that diagram from? Im looking at my copy of RAVE, and I dont have that diagram. More importantly, the diagram I do have does not show part no. 18 (from your pdf) anywhere. It does show part no. 2,3,9,10 and 11.

No. 9 - $14.24 Gen
No. 10 - $75.01 Gen, $46.06 After.

I've broken one of those on the rear. You certainly know about it when they break.
