Good read chap, enjoying the project !171k, just been using it tbh, thought I had fixed the clunk with a dodgy ball joint, hadn't, then realised pinch bolt wasn't shouldered so swapped to correct bolt and thought fixed it again.... Still there occasionally but feels maybe more top mount or spring related so may take the suspension apart at some point and see what's going on.
Still fully tempted to go back to stock stuff too and make it a more comfy B road blaster so that may happen over the winter. We'll see
I'm still just sort of enjoying just using it and not worrying too much.
Alpine stereo is in as well which is decent for the longer journeys as can Spotify it up for the podcasts, dreamy
I haven't fully as yet, need to get it back up in the air and suspect remove u shocks etc to investigate further, but winter innit nowGood read chap, enjoying the project !
Did you solve the clunk ?
Yeah was gunna say I had a mystery clunk was certain it was balljoint; Did top engine mount yesterday haven’t heard a word from Mr Clunk since. Maybe something to look at if nothing else worksI haven't fully as yet, need to get it back up in the air and suspect remove u shocks etc to investigate further, but winter innit now
I did do the top engine, top gearbox and dogbone when I bought the car but was a while ago now so could be a good shout thatYeah was gunna say I had a mystery clunk was certain it was balljoint; Did top engine mount yesterday haven’t heard a word from Mr Clunk since.
