1 clunk when accelerating, and 1 when braking
#1
Hi all,

I've fitted my A048R semi slicks back on today, and with all the extra grip they give, I've run into a bit of an irritating issue, that said, I did have it once or twice on the other wheels.

If I launch pretty hard, I get a clunk from underneath my feet - 1 knock.. that's it. If I then brake really hard, I get 1 knock. If I set of gently, no knock. It's like something is moving forwards and backwards.

Also, if I launch hard, I get a knock, then brake gently with no knock and launch hard again I still have no knock.

I have vibratechnics pbushes, and powerflex front bushes in the wishbones along with nearly new top mounts, vibratechnics engine mounts and a welded up (and substantially stronger!) top engine mount along with brand new track rod ends and rose jointed drop links.

I'll get underneath and have a poke about tomorrow, but what do you reckon? A balljoint starting to go?
