    What's that clunk?

    Greetings. My 06 SE D3 withh 105,000km has recently developed a new "clunk" feature when I take my foot off the accelerator. It does this mainly at low speeds (under 50k's). Feels like it is coming from the front of the vehicle. I would be grateful for any ideas before I take it for repair as I don't want appear as ignorant as I really am.
    Cheers

    I thought all Land Rovers went clunk until I found a crook universal joint on the tail shaft. Try twisting it to see if there is movement that should not be there. Do the rear then the front and see if they are different.

    Not sure if this applies but I experienced a similar issue with vibration at a low speeds (45km/h). I felt it through the steering. It ended up being a front driveshaft uni-joint bearing. It looked fine externally but came apart when disassembled. This was in my D1 BTW.

    Mine did the same.
    Probably lower control arm bushes are worn. Do a search you will find a lot of info.

    I had the bushes done at approx 60k.

    Could it be this?

    I noticed a front end rattle/clunking when on rough tracks or on blue stone paved bits in melbourne. I could find nothing loose under the car either. AMV ringwood changed both font lower control arms. This not only stoped clunk, it has dramaticaly tightened up the steering. It had seemed fine before
    Cost about $385 each arm fited which includes ball joints and bushes. My D3 is 2005 with just under 200k on the clock now.

    ARB bushes? There are some rubber shims that can be inserted to tighten them, put in new ones or ploybush ones.
