Clunk when setting off

Georgey Dee · Oct 29, 2012

Just got the old girl through the MOT and had ALOT of welding done at the same time.

All is well and she's been on a couple of very long journeys recently with no problems whatsoever.

Now - When I accelerate hard I can hear and feel a CLUNK from the front nearside. It's an Auto and it's had alot of work done on it recently including;

New front brakes
New steering damper
All 4 steering balls joints replaced after main drag arm failed at 70MPH!
New drag/steering arms
Floor welded
Sills replaced/uprated
Sunroofs removed and resealed
and a few other bits

Everything else is good it's just this CLUNK when accelerating hard.

.. and replaced by what?

Georgey Dee · Oct 30, 2012

An earlier prop...so i've been told

Could be that, donut removes the harsh engagement and obviously removing and fitting 200 prop will bring it back

Mine has a bad clunk thought it was transfer box but it was a frame ball joint, I understand that's not from the front but worth a check
