i have a feeling mine is a wheel bearing? cause i also have another vibration/ noise, can wheel bearings clunk when there fkd?

No they dont,only constant winding noise which increase or decrease with the speed.

cheers! the noise goes away when i turn left, and gets worse when i turn right. its driving me fkn insane. And i thought either a bush or wheel bearing for the clunk, but now you said wheel bearings cant clunk, and i cant find any bushes that are worn out. fkkn commodores

Is it a constant clunk or just one off until you turn right again? Steering rack bolts been checked for tightness?

If that's power steering/trans fluid leaking it can stuff the rubber bushes over time. If you take it to Pe****s just beware you'll get a list of things as long as your arm that they say need changing, half or more of which will be perfectly servicable.

not a constant clunk. just when turning, or going up/down driveways , but it only does it while im going slowly

and yeah, i have thought about taking it to pedders, but they wont tell me whats wrong with it, they will just write down every front suspension part as being fkd. And it wont help me at all
