Mysterious clunk

[vn15]

Have a mysterious clunk when turning and at the same time hitting a bump, and when going fast in turns on rough roads.
Could it be worn out panhard bushes in the front???????

I have new OME castor bushes, swaybar poly bushes, steering tie rods.
Drop-down castor brackets. Still the old rubber bushes in the back of radiusarms.

6" lift and 37" tires

Body mount rubbers.. It also gets worse when wet?

Have you run over anyone lately? some parts of them could still be hitting the car no matter how well you think you washed it
Check the body mount rubbers, mine does the same thing and Im pretty sure that what it is on mine

Could be front springs sliding on their lower coil hats as well

mine does it too, but i replace bushes etc. Seems to be coming from the floor, as if its popping up n down. only when i turn or go over bumps like u. is a mystery...

iyou noted when steering over a bump. ive seen it were the draglink has been bent only even slightly and it hits on the diff carrier. is this your noise perhaps?

Thanks for the tips guys, it can well be the front coils.

I thought I had washed it well

could also be the dreaded cracked floor pan under drivers feet.

THis was a problem I had only a few months ago, check your shock, we got all the steering, brakes all redown and all it was, the shock was not screwed on, It is a large thud feels like under your feet when you drive if this is it, check your shock!!!

All the best

I'd check the rear radius rod bushs, or shock bushs.

My money is on the bolts holding the diff to the radius arm, they are loose and the hole is slightly elongated.

Bling wash job VN ...

Sorry to hi-jack but any chance you can PM me some photos/info on that front crossmember/radius drop box setup?

Cheers

EDIT: Not to worry, just checked your Members thread and found they are Wizard bolt-on jobs. I thought from the photo, it looked like a complete crossmember/drop bracket combined. I guess it's just the angle and the fact you've painted it.

Only drivers side I have seen it on the passengers floor from jumping into creeks on the Cape York trips. (Lucky they were work vehicles)

One of our GQ LWB has the same problem and yes its worse when wet - lots worse - even creaks and knocks loud when braking or turning! We have changed the bushes for the panhard, radius rod to diff, radius rod to chassis, checked the shocks, etc. I never thought about checking the body mount rubbers. The vehicle has done heaps of corigated roads as it belonged to the general store in Cooktown. Will have to check on the weekend and let you know.

Mine does it too. It was there (faintly) when I got the car and I thought it was the radius arm bushes. these were replaced at Mannels when I put in the 4" kit. I assume he would have told me if the holes (front or back) were elongated. Shocks have all been replaced and I replaced the two right front body blocks. The noise got worse for a while after that then settled down but is still there. I never really noticed whether wet weather makes a diff. The holes in the body that the metal part of the block sits into were slightly oversize. Would that matter?
