Thread: "Clonk......?"

D1
If its not bushes

Then i would say body mount / chassis mount. Either has cracked and mount is loose.

Over the 7 years I had a disco i welded and re-welded the back 4 and front 2 mounts twice... that cheezy floor pan doesnt really like overloading! And the chassis mounts also seem to stress crack, especially the back two.

Loose spare wheel or spare wheel mount?

my first guess though was going to be shock!

but we could do with more detail does it do it when your sterring left or right. could be a seized tie rod....

Have you checked your steering damper?

Does it irrespective of direction the steering wheels are pointed. Generally when you go over a pot hole, as the rear wheels drop into the pot hole the "Clonk" occurs.

Will be checking body mounts, exhaust, rear door striker, fuel tank mount, rear bushes and ball joints this weekend...........betcha wish you were me hey?

Checked and tightened both of these with no difference.......no six pack for you!

Keep guessing and I'll keep checking

well if its happening down pot holes i would go bushes or shock/shock bushes

Is that a six pack of Darwin stubbies?

had the same on the wekend, checked the radius arm ends and the nut on one side was on its last thread....phew that was close!!


PS they clonk from factory don't they?

I have the same clonk! Smooth roads no worries, dirt track, clonk, clonk, clonkity. I thought it was the rear door, then the end cap of the rear bar...

If I find it I'll let you know!

Have you tried bouncing up and down on the back of the car while the car is parked?
If it is a shock it should cause it to "clonk"
