M35 Clunking Noise

[Brendan&Ana]

Hi, Guys,

i really need help with this one.... the Suspension guys have NO F'n clue lol...

when driving and going over bumps/ uneaven roads, there is a clunking noise coming from the front wheels.

have taken it to a number of suspension places to have a look and no idea. one said its the sway bar link arm connector,

we changed this and still making noise?

PLS HELP!!! its driving me insane...

thanks

Ana

Sounds like a good excuse for an aftermarket suspension kit, no?

Sorry Anna, never heard it with any other M35's I have driven so not much (more like "any") help.

hi, When you accelerate hard through a corner do you hear it or feel a bump / feedback through the steering wheel ?

[zei20l]

either dead shocks, a stuffed bush, CV, engine mount, loose exhaust mount, the list goes on!

is it coming from the left or right side? if you go over a speed bump, does it happen when you hit the bump, or when you have 'landed' on the other side?

if a suspension/front end specialist cant find the problem. take it elsewhere

happens when landing , i think.

can feel the bump/clunk thru the brake and accelerator when driving.

has been checked over by pedders (but has not been shaken on the machine)

dead shock maybe. mine squeak and dont work well at all. but thats because it has 110k on the clock.

go to another mechanic and ask them to actually look at it. maybe pedders looked in the rear

I had something that sounded similar when driving slow over uneven ground.

Getting all the fiddly bits in the front end cleaned and re-lubed fixed it.

Mechanic said everything had dried up and wasn't moving properly.

No parts required.

Interesting investigation of Peddars by ACA this week. Was going to take the S13 there but OH NO!
