VE SS 2006
Hi team just had all front end replaced in Ve SS control arms link pins d bushes, struts strut bush, tie rod ends it got like a creak/ knock

At first I thought mechanic had left something loose ?

Got her in jack stands found a few things I could nip up but nothing bad.

The only thing that wasn’t replaced was rack ends ?

What do u guys think it could be ?

Speed issue typical 17 yr old commodore, when I select from reverse to drive and via versa I get a clunk ( 95% of the time)

Any idea’s guys

Could be tailshaft related, check centre bearing and rubber coupling...

Was it there before the replacement parts were fitted?

Might help narrow it down

Strut top bearings. And actual strut tops.

With suspension bushes etc, fix one and it accentuates the next weakest point.
