That annoying 'CLUNK'

I first heard the CLUNK last year after shuddering along the Talawana Track.

I removed the stabiliser bars but the clunk was still there. Put them back on again

Then it would be quiet for a while and as soon as there was wetness around, CLUNK!

Sounded like it was coming from the front of the truck.

Have checked the body mounts. They are as tight as the proberbial. Have looked and looked and tried to move them, but to no avail. The ribbers are in good nick.

Then I thought AHA! Suspension bushes are shot. So while in Melbourne in October I got real assistance from EO Member Crazie when he pulled the suspension down for me, but no, after 300,000km the bushes were in excellent shape.

Then for a while the noise went away. But now it is back with a vengeance...CLUNK!!

I have checked all the steering gear and it is in good shape as well. The front wheel bearings are tight as well.

Took the OME shocks off today and they are still very good. Bushes all in top condition and plenty of gas in the canisters.

I have not pulled the carpet up to see if there are cracks in the firewall or footwell (a Nissan failing) but from underneath the truck I can see no cracks.

So, anywhere else I should look LOL

Cheers

CLUNK!!!
