Picked up a clunk :( think its from the back
« on: 25 April 2012, 19:55 »
Recently been hearing a clunking/knocking noise when driving. I'm 99% sure it's coming from the back end?

Is there anything I can test? Think I need to take wheels off but it's been peeing it down  :sad:

Rear beam bushes? Middle exhaust bracket broken?  :undecided:

Exhaust has just been done so thought they would have changed the brackets lol?

Could be bushes, sounds like a worn bushes noise. Will try and have a look tomo if it's not peeing it down  :angry:

The exhaust mounting point breaks away from the floor and needs welding very common  :wink:

yeah ide suspect that if youve just had exhaust changed then they may have knoked it and loosent it a bit more and now its come away.


also depending on how you define "clunk" could be rear top mounts, though thats more of a "knoking" noise(however its hard to make noises through a computer)  :grin:

Ye very hard to make noises lol, would do a video but it's quite a faint noise

Had joms fitted not long ago and I'm sure they replaced all the mounts

I had a loud clunk and that turned out to be the rear bushes.
