Hi VE heads,
I’ve got a VE Calais with 300k on the clock... comfortable solid car but at the age where things steadily need replacing....
Currently, I have a quiet clunk when taking off hard, and a vibration at around 80km/h, but only when not accelerating. When under acceleration or load it disappears. I’m not sure of the direction of where the clunk is coming from but the vibration seems to be towards the rear of the car.
Im assuming the vibration is probably the centre bearing or rear coupling that’s worn out.... any other thoughts?
As for the clunk, I assume that’s also the centre bearing or a worn engine mount(s)...
anywhere else I should look guys?
cheers
