Sherb87 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Hi All, I have an odd clunk which sounds like it is coming from the drivers side front suspension.... But, it only does a single clunk, after the car has been stood. For example, when I turn out my drive and I get to almost full lock it does and single clunk and that's it, quite loud. Doesn't do it when driving and only does it after it has been sat a few hours. I've had it in the air and had pull on everything, turned the steering etc and can't replicate it. Has anyone had a similar thing? Quote
_shaun_ Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 just when you set off? i get it on mine if i leave it for a few days as the brakes get some surface rust soon get a kinda cracking nosie as i drive off and then its fine. Quote
Johnboy GT Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Have you checked your spring and top mount?John Quote
Sherb87 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 I don't think it is sat long enough for it to be brakes and only does it when turning. I haven't checked the top mount and spring in terms of taking them apart, and couldn't really see anything wrong... I shall have a proper look! Quote
patman Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Clunking when turning is drive shaft splines if I'm right? Quote
Matt1878 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I get this too! .. It's just one single clunk that I can hear when setting off from a stationary position.. Or if I'm rolling backwards and then drive forward it does it then Quote
morgey Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Depends on what brakes you have matt. Im sure You can hear the pads in my wms move back and forward at slow speed. Quote

aleximport25 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) I have the occasional knock when I'm on full lock and setting off, but I know it's my engine torque damper as is started as soon as I fitted it. Might be worth a check if you have one Edited June 10, 2015 by aleximport25 Quote
morgey Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I have the levin twin pot's and the 266mm discs. Definitely doesn't sound like brakes.My corolla with levin twinpots is doing exactly this only after fitting the twinpots. If its not that then its driveline related as its coming from osf most noticably Quote
