Sorry if this has been covered before, I can't recall reading anything. My M35 has a strange clunking/crunching sound at low speeds. It doesn't appear to happen at higher speeds (over 40) although I guess it's possible that I just can't hear it.


To me it sounds like it's coming from the rear somewhere and also sounds like it is at the same point on the rotation of the wheel. ie whenever the wheel gets close to that same rotational position it clunks. It's been an issue for quite a long time and just haven't got around to working out the problem.


Incase the issues are related; I also get chirps constantly (that I assume are from the ATTESA) and a year or so ago I lost my passenger side rear wheel on the highway so there's potential that there was some minor damage from that accident that is slowly getting worse?


Any help would be GREATLY appreciated,


Thanks,

is it happening mostly while turning? not an expert on stageas but if its an LSD, sometimes the clutches in the diff will bind and release rapidly and repeatedly when cornering causing the inside wheel to "skip" which sounds like a clunk noise from inside the car and will also churp.
sometimes its a simple fix by just changing your diff oil and you can also get an additive that goes in with the oil to help free up the clutches.

    • Can you help!   Can you tell me a few places you got your Flex Fuel Kits installed in Sydney The only one I know of is Tunehouse. Thanks in advance!!!  
    • Yea my thought was tighter engine when hot is more load a poor ground connection can't take. On that note, I had time to check my driveshaft verical alignment tonight, it's +2 and -2 at either end, so thats perfect and how I had set it up last year. What would be the easiest way to check horizontal alignment between my diff and transmission? I can think of a few ways but they're all complicated and I feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm hoping it's that as I can't see any other reason why I have developed driveline vibration since I put the motor back in. 
    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly.
