Hi there,
I have a weird knock going through the car when take off from a complete stop, come to a stop, or shift from park into reverse. It does this onetime 'clunck' sound and the takeoff/break situation also makes me feel it in the floorboard.
Weird is, i have been chasing the noise a while, have done an almost complete front suspension rebuild, only thing i didnt do was the lower control arm bushing cause i dont have a torsion bar tool. 2 weeks ago i put in new front shocks cause i could feel the knock on the shocks while bumping the car up and down on the front. With the new shocks, that improved a lot and there is no knock anymore when pushing up and down the front end to work the suspension.
Now, when i push down the rear right, so that the rear suspension on that side travels a lot, i dont hear the knock. On the drivers side rear, i can actually recreate the noise. Its a metallic click/clonk which I locate either somwhere under the driver door or more to the back towards the leafspring. I already tightend frame screwes, seat screwes, suspension bolts ect. I also flooded the leafs with wd40 but the noise is still there. Anyone has any advise on this? It reminds me a little of sticking breakpads or a loose bolt moving in a slightly larger hole.
Thank you for any help, Tobi
