I don't even know where to start, i have a clunk in my car when braking and taking off, i was thinking engine mounts, but i don't know why the'd be buggered as it was only owned by an old couple, but i guess they are fairly old mounts.. any suggestions? :/
suspension bushes???? fairly common i beleive.
What about all the slop in the drive train???? I had a clunk, ended up being hook not tight enough on winch. Very cheap Fix. Old couple, old mounts, maybe old couple from hell
None of the suspension bushes, already checked (as when i got the car there were no rear shock bushes)
how do i check the slop in the drivetrain?
Get a louder stereo?
Is there anything rolling around in the back? sound silly i know, but i did fix a mates cars clunk by putting his toolbox where it couldn't move.
As others have said, possible the drivetrain, but I would have thought that you would notice anything amis with the drivetrain when driving around, as it would surely be noticable in the smoothness of takeoff/stop and the like.
Same with the engine mounts - when mums camry had a busted one you could feel the engine movement when you put your foot down - to check for slop try getting up to about 10 kays, stick in in second, and plant you foot for a second, off for a second, on for a second etc. untill it is revving high enough that you need to change gears. (Is yours a diesel? make sure you don't overrev a diesel)
If there is play you should feel it.
Hope this helps
Cheers!
It seems to be happening when I change gears, like when I take my foot off the clutch if I'm not extremely careful.

What about gearbox mounts??? I'd stick my head under there with a very large screwdriver and try and move a few things
It's not me, I haven't been anywhere near it this time!!!!! :D
G/box mount or drivetrain?
hey buddy bring it around and ill have a look get it sorted
happy to help out another
Gearbox mounts. Body mounts also check they are all tight. Radius arm bushes can have same effect as well.
