Rear Suspension Clunk over bumps

Shocks, springs, anything to do with the running gear

Re: Rear Suspension Clunk over bumps

Still got the issue guys, going to have to do something about it!

Having put miles on the car since I last posted I've noticed some changes

*New (ish) springs / roll bar - previous owner must have had them fit.

*As I turn left, more obvious at high speed the wheel (driverside rear) seems to tap, pretty fast, maybe twice a second - not overly loud.

*If I raise the wheel on a jack and kick the rear of the wheel(tire part), over a caliper, it's solid. If I do this on the front to the wheel, it seems to clunk a little.

I'd assume the two points above suggest the wheel isn't solid, wobbling and causing the clunk as the suspension decompresses.

Any advise would be fab.
