ob1 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Goodday all Since I could remember, there is a clunk when you pull away 1sr reverse. I am very used to that, and believe this is quite normal in Defenders. The play in the drive train between engine braking and pulling is becoming more, and I am considering replacing the drive members in 2000km's time. Lately however, there is a very specific clunk coming from the rear somewhere. I believe it comes from below the vehicle. It happens(not always) when I break firmly, go around a corner at normal speed, and trough a dip/gully wheel by wheel. Not loud/intrusive, but very distinctive Any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeSheds Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 A frame ball joint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Anything that moved under the back, so A-frame ball joint as above or rear diff, rear axle drive members, or bushes in the various axle linkage. A big tyre iron or pry bar and 30 mins under the back should tell you if it's anything bush-related or the ball-joint, as there will be excessive play in the joint(s) at fault.
