reb78 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 A couple of weeks ago, I had an interaction with a slippy bit of tarmac and a ditch. The back of the 110 swerved on a corner (maybe some diesel on the wet road), I steered into it, passenger side bumped up the edge of the ditch/verge and along the top of said ditch, narrowly avoiding the car that had rolled into the ditch minutes before. Then i came to a stop. I thought all I had done was rip the rear mudflap off. There was a scuff mark on the rear trailing arm on the passenger side, but no visible damage. Since then, when I pull away, there is a metallic 'clank' from underneath. It's generally not immediately as I pull away, but shortly after I have gotten rolling. Straight line or turning doesn't affect it, it doesn't do it every time (maybe 50% of pull always) and doesn't tend do it again unless I stop and have to get rolling again. I've been underneath multiple times and can't find anything wrong. Any ideas what this could be? It's like a piece of metal hitting another piece of metal on concrete noise.

pete3000 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Sounds like a bush has collapsed or bolt on you rear trailing arm, if it's only after you have stopped and pull away again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I had a clunk that occurred under similar circumstances and it was the rear top shock bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Spent a couple of hours under the 110 this evening. All bushes seem fine, I checked the torque on all the bush nuts, shocks appear ok (& their bushes). The only possible culprit I found was play in the rear prop rear UJ. In a certain plane, it made a metallic knocking noise that could be what I am hearing. I guess it could be that when the power is taken up when the prop,is in a certain spot it could cause it to clunk? I'll change it tomorrow, have a spare UJ in the garage.

reb78 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Changing the UJ seems to have fixed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
