Noise
Hi all i have a 2013 gu 3ltr. I have heard a weird noise going over bumbs like something's loose. I have had a look but i can't see anything thats loose. The mechanic had a look hes not sure either. I have done the wheel bearings.
Anyone ever had this problem any info is much appreciated. And it sounds like its coming from the front of the car.

Maybe try and describe the sound, is it a clunk or two on the bumps or light continuous rattle, etc?
My springs move a little bit on bumps sometimes and it's a clunk or two type of sound.

Coil springs shifting around mounts over big bumps have freaked me out before too coming from an all round leafy spring background. A steel pry (jemmy) bar or hardwood 2x2” picket is helpful for levering engine off chassis to check rubber mounts serviceability. Suggest the wood option also for leveraging your trucks floor pan (body) off the chassis rubber mounts check too mate. Worth heaving the front guards and bullbar up and down too, failing all that your mechanic no doubt inspected ‘all’ joint bushes too hopefully.

Thanks guys I'll have a look at that tonight. Sorry the sound is like a couple of clunks going over speed humps and up a curb. I'm guessing the mechanic checked all that stuff. But I'll start from the start again.

I'd be checking the insulators on top of the springs , they wear and get holes .
