Clunking noise when going over bumps in the road.

Post by Mickers » Mon Nov 09, 2009 12:12 am

Hello Everbody,

I have just purchased a 2.5 Tintop, (moving into the modern age and retiring my old VW T25) while driving the van back I have heard a clunk a number of times as I ridse over bumps in the roads. However the clunks do not occur all the time, I supose it only happen on deeper pot hole. Could this be new shocks etc, please can you advise on possible causes?

Thanks in advance,

Mickers :D

or anti roll bar bushes, easy & cheap fix, best to replace the brackets if you're doing the bushes.

Vectra ones are for the front, Ford Galaxy ones for the rear droplinks, you may find your local motor factor has this info already.
