Help!!!!.............Got a very discerning thud from behind!

Post by GreggandIssy » Fri Sep 01, 2006 4:15 pm

Hi All - Need some help badly!!!!
Got a rather discerning thud, which only happens every now and again, from the back end of our Bongo when we are driving.
It all starts of as an annoying rattle that tends to be heard when you ar eon an uneven road, then for some reason, if you turn right you hear a lind of clunk, but when you follow it with a left hand turn (say going into another road/drive) there is one hell of a thud!
The first time it happened it was as if we were hit by something, it is that intense.
I've had a look underneath and all seems ok, everything is still there anyway! It's all secure etc, but I just cannot fathom where its coming from!

Hopefully some of you guys can help me out, it'd be gratefully appreciated!

Many thanks

You were right something was broken!!!

After posting this thread, I had a search thru the rest of the forum (why I didn't before I posted - God knows!) and found a similar thread, to which after clambering under the rear axle, I found that the rear anti-roll bar bush and bracket were missing.

Who needs garages when yo uhave this web-site!?!

Cheers guys
