Jk* 0 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Today i noticed that the front end of my car is clunking abit. The symtoms are: -Clunking and slight movement when reversing and braking-Slight movement and clunking when pulling off. -Clunking noise from what appears to be near the front end somewhere when at low speed. Any ideas? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Silly answer but have you checked wheel bolts? As mine did that when wheel adapter came loose, not nice feeeling Link to post Share on other sites
Jk* 0 Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Yeah, that was the first thing i checked. When i go to stop reverse the car feels as though the wheels have stopped then there is a very short delay before the chassis does...and the opposite scenario when i pull away.
