Big Bad Baz Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've noticed recently that whenever I pull away from a standstill, there's a noticeable "clunk" or "click" from "somewhere underneath". Sorry, but I can't be much more specific than that! Is this anything to worry about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bad Baz Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Quoting Paul Richards: Live axle car? A frame bush? De-Dion, as far as I know (1995 Super Sport). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpa Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Quite likely to be the bush under the dedion, where the A-frame attaches. Also worth checking how 'solid' the rear gearbox mount is - I have had the gearbox hit the chassis tunnel with a worn one! It could be something else, though - the handbrake cable can cause clicking if it is loose. Check your engine mounts too - try putting a jack under the sump (with car on stands) and lifting gently - the mounts should not move.

johnv Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I had exactly that and it turned out to be the bolts on the roll over bar .. the ones underneath the shock absorbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
