Rear suspension rattle

Hi, getting a distinct click/clunk over minor (and major) road bumps from back driver side. Handling seems Ok but is it a sign of a known problem such as springs or shocks? Car is a 2000MY with 56K.

Hello Vince,

Early cars were prone to early front and rear anti roll bar bush failure. The material flattened easily and the first signs were a bonk thonk from one end or the other of the car.

Anti roll bar vertical links often click clunk when tired. Usually about £12 each. Four on the car. Easy job. My MY00 had shot the links at 60K. The current V8 at 65k appears to be doing better.

Try these points as a starter.

Mike
