Clunk clunk clunk

[Randolph]

Have you checked your drop links ?

 

[DaveD]

That points toward a serious misalignment and you're probably going to see some serious tyre wear.

 

[Cuiken]

This is a long thread so I appreciate you won't have had time to reread it all (I've forgotten half of it myself )

In summary though:

Parts replaced:

Springs (40mm lowering vs previous 70mm lowered coilovers)
Shocks
Top mounts, bearings etc
Wishbone bushes
Ball joints
Drop links (twice!)
ARB bushes

I had the allignment checked when I noticed it was scrubbing. No issues or adjustment needed. This van is a total lemon .

Have you checked the steering rack ?

 

[Cuiken]

Checked in as much as there is no obvious play, it's not leaking and it's securely mounted. I'll need to have a garage properly check it over though. Only so much I can do on our driveway.

 

[Stay Frosty]

Needs more sound deadening, a louder sound system and driving harder so that the "clunk" whereabouts are more obvious.

 

[Cuiken]

I'll certainly say that loud tunes do help more than pretty much anything else I have tried

I've just read your whole thread. I'm having so many similar issues, I've just yesterday replaced the meyle HD with 2 more meyle HD ball joints, I've within the past 3 months, replaced the shocks for konis from crs , brand new original T30 springs All round, lemforder drop links, meyle HD top mounts, I'm glad I read the thread as I need to go back take the skutle panel of and swap the 16mm nut back onto the top of the mount, I've already swapped that from I originally had it in the correct position, but couldn't understand why the gap between the too plate and body of the van. And I'll still have a clunk. Next change it s the ARB bushes to poly

So what’s the outcome of this now? Are you all fixed up Cuiken?
I have an occasional knock from the front right side. Started making a noise after full new setup from CRS. (Not saying that the noise is from CRS, just that’s when it started)

I am in middle of swapping topmount nuts BACK to 16mm on the top mount and the lock nut on the top plate as this is the order I'm reading from here and others is the correct order.
