Clunk in turns

[Watkins Family <watbmv@xxxx>]

Another cause of clunking in the rear when turning is a sticky bearing
that will "let go" with the force of the turn which is the clunk sound
you hear. In a 1985 DeLorean World issue Don Stegar of DeLorean Motor
Center in Garden Grove is shown spraying lubicant on the rear axle to
solve this problem. I had it with my first car and used to spray mine
and the clunk when away until the lubricant needed refreshing.

If anyone can second this root cause it may help those who are having
this problem. It may not always be the more serious trailing arm bolts
about to let go.....it may just be a simple need to lubricate the
bearing.
