Clonks and shakes Disco 1

Aug 16, 2005 3 Replies

My old k reg dissy, gives a real clonk if you go round a roundabout and then straighten up. It appears to make the floor knock, in other owrds you can feel it as well as hear it. It seems to be similar both sides if you turn left or right. Theres some take up on the drive assy when you pull away, but not what i would consider to be excessive. It kind of sounds like a cv joint taking up. But its only one clonk, on each direction change. And only appears to be on full or near full lock.



Help?

Checked the panhard rod bushes recently?? Badger.

Bound to be bushes, somewhere. That or the A-frame joint under the back end.

My 2p's worth:

A frame ball joint

Is the sound from the front or back? High or low speed? Rear radius arm bushes can allow a clonk like you describe on full lock if they're worn, especially if the A frame ball joint isn't too happy.

A few minutes with your old friend the 2ft pry bar + trolley jack and all will be revealed.
