Paul,

Have you tried tightening all of your fiberglass underbody to frame bolts?

Subject: [DML] still clonking


hello list,

You may remember my post about a clonking noise on the front wheels.
I had a lower ball joint put in and it still clonks.
So I jacked up the wheel drivers side as this is where the sound 
comes from and shook the wheel up and down and side to side It 
would,nt make the sound!
I looked at the bushings and swaybar bushes and although they don't 
look great there does not appear to be any play at all.
With the wheels lowered in there normal state though,If you pull the 
wheels about both sides I can hear a slight clonking the same sound 
when I drive.
Could this be a steering problem?
Bear in mind that the clonking sound only happens when you go over 
bumps in the road,on nice flat roads you can't hear it.

Help please.
