Funny Clunk coming from down under

[The Windsurfing VY Wagon]

Hey there all,

I have a funny type of clunk coming from my right hand front wheel area when I'm driving along. It's got worse over the last couple of weeks now and I have not had the time to get in to Pedders for a check.

Any idea what it would be?

I can shake the car left to right and you can hear it every time the right side of the car goes down.

I have super low King springs in their at the moment.

Could it be a worn out shock or a worn out bush do you think?

Going to try and make it to Pedders before Christmas at least.....

Thanks in advance guys.

i would check they sway bar link pin rubbers, i had mine replaced under warrenty not long back

thats or a possible wheel bearing, had that same thing in my vr and it was a wheel bearing on the l/h side though, but when u turn yours to the left does the noise go away and then gets greater when you turn to the right?

ill put my money on link pins, but vys up dont seem to have much of a problem with them though compared to vt/vx's

do u have rims? on ur car coz if u dont might be somethin stuck inside the thing if u don thave rims.. like a rock or screw

Check the nut on the strut. If that is a bit loose, the mount moves up and down and will clunk.

I have exactly the same sound under the front driver side that has just started happening in the last few weeks. It mainly does it on sharp turning when driving slow. (Doing a U turn or such)

try replacing the rubbers on top of swaybar link this should do it if not, get a suspension check alot of places do it for free and let you know what it is

G day fellas, i had that clunking sound in the vx, and the cause was the 2 braces that are attached the chassis rail & firewall , i just put a 13mm spanner to them to tighten & no more noise.So give that a go it might be your problem as well. Cheers.
