Clunking sound when left wheel hits a dip

[shells2074]

Feels like theirs play in the left side? Not sure how best to word it but the right wheels feel sturdy and the front doesn't. Any thoughts?

Jack it up on the passenger side and see if there is play in the wheel. Try it at the 12&6 (top and bottom) position and also 3&9 (left and right). Any movement should help pinpoint your issue. Left and right movement points to possible Track rod ends, top and bottom suggest wheel bearing or similar. Also have a good check of your spring (not snapped) and shock. Been investigating something similar on mine and found a faulty track rod.

Thought track rod end too cod just replaced but was doing it prior. And Pav, yes it's proving a ball ache haha. Not been shopping for ages cos putting it all in the car haha. Cheers guys I'll get it looked at fri

Ps was told a bit back not wheel bearing.

 

[millsey2010]

I have a similar noise - no play in the wheel itself though. Waiting for confirmation of what is/isn't included in my warranty before getting it looked it...

 

[shells2074]

Yeah no play but just worried, don't want any nasty surprises. I don't think it's owt to worry about though.

 

[shells2074]

Think I over exaggerates my first post haha. Was going through a bad time with car at the time. Cambelt kit today. Owt else! !

If its a metallic noise like metal on metal clunk it could well be a loose top mount bearing.

 

[shells2074]

Is that bad news?

 

[shells2074]

It's more a knocking not necessarily metal sounding. Not really loud but only doing it on the left side

Not really around £100 fix for 2 top mounts, best to do them both.

 

[shells2074]

Well its in for cambelt kit tomorrow so im asking about it. They tested it last week and don't feel what I do. I'm a sensitive soul you see.

Hahaha it's hard to feel sometimes only over bumps!

 

[shells2074]

Yeah but it's bugging me. If I ignore it would it have an impact on anything?
