annoying clunk from the rear

[chuggaman]

i am quite frustrated now that i havnt been able to cure this noise.

it sounds like the clunk you get from a front ball joint(track rod end)

it comes from the rear on the drivers side

especially when going from reverse to first(moving)and turning to the left

ie a three point turn

ive done the a frame bushes and ball joint

polybushed the upper shock mounts

if by hand i

shake the wheels =no noise

roll the wheels =no noise

am i missing something obvious

Check the radius arm bushes are really tight and havn't worked loose.  Check for backlash in the drivetrain, oh and the propshaft nuts.

nope, well depends on how much play

it shouldnt be that noticeable

this could be the clunk!

heres hoping


will 90 diffs fit on

assuming i change halfshafts

and would that help with the ratio and the large tyres


mike

[davidlandy]

they should fit - so shouldn't be any probs.

the ratio i think is the same 3.54 to 1.

hope you've found your problem
