What did you do to your Patrol today!

[Hodge]

Could it be a coil spacer ?

Not at 50mm diameter it wont be.

Do it look like this lucas? Plus the rear radius rubbers don't rotate. Unless the marks are from a washer that was behind it.

Yeah that front bush on the radius arm was my first guess. Hopefully I get home with a bit of light left tonight to check it. That makes sense about the rear radius arm mounts, cheers

Ok, I didn't look much when I got home as it was dark and now I'm not near it BUT dad dropped in a piece of rubber he found in his drive after I visited. I know it's a long shot but does this look familiar to anyone? And also could that be the source of the clunks? It looks to me like it could be from the radius arms?? Ill put all this on another thread later to maybe help any others EDIT: diameter is about 50mm

It looks like there's rotation marks on it. It's dried out and squashed. Originally red. I had a quick look at the front radius arm mounts but it was dark and covered in mud lol. But could it be the rear radius arm mount to the chassis? That would have to make a bit of a clunk with the rubber gone?

That looks like a boot that goes over the tie rod ends, if the mushroom bush at the back of the radius arm to the chassis is worn you'll hear and feel a knock in the floor near your feet when you go over bumps.

Now if you washed your car once in a while you could see underneath there no dramas, day or night!!

Nah not a boot. But yeah I started hearing a clunk and I think I felt it on the floor a few times... Hopefully that's it.

And I bloody washed my car last week! You're just jealous that I get it muddy more often than you townies.

So, yes George I'll wash it and yes Winnie I'll get under there with a torch.... God you guys are hard on me!!!
