Suspension clunking/banging noise in cabin at foot pan??
Suspension clunking/banging noise in cabin at foot pan??
Hi, i have just bought a GQ shorty with 2inch lift (guy said lift was 2.5inch...) and when braking, turning or hitting bump you can here a 2 clunks under foot pan in cab. It sounds like panhards but im not sure.
Any ideas would be great thanks (i've tryed bouncing cab to get the noise but carnt seem to)

jack the front off the ground and get under it.
I think is is more likely to be a drag link of panard.
Could even be the sway bar rubbers or link at that end at the front.
Given it happens ALL the time it is less likely to be the coil moving i would think. The are a heap of suspension components attached to the car around there.
Get under it and give is all a wobble.
It could even be a Seat mount if you cant make it happen when you are jumping on the cab.
If it was a shock rubber it would happen all the time and would drive you nuts.
Drag Link bush in front of the front diff,
Panard in front of the front diff,
Tie Rod behind the diff
Stabiliser bar link right under the driver floor.
The last thing to check would be the Radius Arm Bushes may be shot and would give you a clunk in those circumstances.

Yer passenger side seems alot worse then drivers side for me too. I'll have too weld it.ozy1 wrote:the seam between the floor pan and fire wall cracks and causes this sort of thing. i found the passenger side cracked first, repaired it, and 4 years later the drivers side did the same thing,
i just had it welded and braced,

On top of the body mount, my mounts had compressed and the nut had bottomed out on the thread. Hence the noise as the body moved around from the rubbers being marginally loose. Though not loose enough to be able to move by hand. so I used thick mudguard washers (large ouside dia) and drilled to suit the bolt. In fact I think from memory I used shocky washers and just drilled them out to suit. Took the noise away for good. I'd tried changing just about every bush in the front end plus the rubber between the coils and tower. This was the last resort and worked.
