Gday all. After some more help. My GUIV has just developed a clunk in the front right. I cant seem to find anything out of order and only happens when turning and bouncing. It gives a perfect road test with no vibration. It is a pretty unnerving noise. Any help greatly appreciated. Phil
Sway bar bushes? That is what it was on mine.
Check bolt tension in the radius arm bushes.
Thanks fellas, forgot to mention that I just had ARB put a full 2"lift kit in including caster bushes. I will check these now as my bump stops fell out shortly after installation.
Take it back to ARB, which outlet was it?
ARB Hobart, Very poor Service and stuff all care.
I'm guessing there will be no rubber spring hats on top of the front springs....Quote:

There are only rubber noise dampers at the top of the springs, and nothing at the bottom.Quote:

I added a flat 8mm Poly Spacer at the bottom of the passenger front spring, as this is usually the one that makes the most noise.

Yeah there should be on the top of the front springs. As mic said they will be hard to see. If there is none there I bet you that's where the noise is from. If you need some, you can get OEM ones or get on evil bay and search for spring spacers for patrol.Quote:

Don't waste your time buying more rubber ones just get 15 mm coil spacers and they won't come out again
I just bought 4 x 15mm spacers and still waiting for some one to fit them for me hint hint
Agree with Mudski and Megatexture - I had the same clunk and fitted 15mm spacers, plus some wrapping on the spring bases and it is now good as gold.
Took me a while to work it out though.
