GU Patrol - Clunk when stopping???

[shaun100]

Hi All,

Long time lurker - however just bought my first patrol :-)

I have recently bought an 02 GU111 4.8 Auto Patrol.

It has a lovells 2" lift.

When Im slowing to a stop (well nearly stoppeed) theres a clunk from the rear.

It seems as though when braking, something moves, then pops backed when stopped.

SOMETIMES, if I brake really gently itll do it on take off..

Any ideas on what to check?

Thanks Shaun

Mine used to do that, it was the bottle jack in the rear. I put some rags around it to stop that

G'day Shaun

Welcome aboard and glad you could join in.

If you zip over to Introductions and introduce yourself, you'll probably get a better response. We like people to intro themselves before they ask too many questions. lol

By the way, Clunk is always stopping - he drives a GQ. PML.

Take care out there.

Thanks guys,

Yeah Ill head over to intro's shortly :-)

Im just scratching my head with this noise........

It seems as though something loads up when braking then lets go the second I stop...

Cheers

check all your brake caliper bolts they can make weird noises when they come loose

Shaun, ive got exactly the same clunk. Sounds like coming from the rear as well. Mine also an auto. My last 2 gu's were manual which didnt do it.

Maybe check your rear trailing arm bushes. Ive had mine up on a hoist and had a good check around but nothing obvious. I recently bought mine as well and was doing it from the beginning.

Shaun,

I just bought a GU IV 4.8 with this exact problem. I've left it with the dealer this week to get his mechanics to sort. I pick it up on Saturday so will let you know what they come up with!

check your trailing arm bushes, grease and check for wear in the tailshaft slip joint

i think its from the break valve compensater (the thinge above rear dif )needs to be adjusted
had it in mine and i adjusted it and now no bump when stopping it seemed to do it when slowing to a stop real slow

I had a look and there doesnt seem to be a grease nipple in the rear slip joint??

Thanks to everyone :-)
