Vf Ss Series 2 Commodore
Hey guys my name is Edward im new to the forum!
Just purchased a Manual 2016 Vf Ss Series 2 commodore, so far has been been very smooth.
Just wanted to see though I did notice very slight clunking coming from somewhere in enginebay or nearby after releasing the clutch possibly the jerking motion causing it?
I just wanted to see if anyone else has the same issue ?
Thanks
Edward

Does the noise come from a particular side? Does it happen when you turn one way or the other?

Hi Steen, it happens basically in any direction as the clutch is released and if the car jerks the slightest bit you hear it, and also I if you intentionally jerk the car with the accelerator it does the same noise. I'm starting to think possibly something to do with the tailshaft or nearby?

If the sound only occurs with clutch actuation, then it's unlikely to be the known ball joint re-torque or sway bar links issues.
