Hi there my 54 disco se diesel has developed a clonking noise (which appears to be coming from the rear of the car - but who knows) when turning right, this seems to be intermittent but during a journey will happen at least 2 or 3 times. This does not happen when I turn the wheel when the car is stationery. Have had quite a lot of work done to it since owning it for 2 years including new wishbones, new anti-role bars, new bushes, and new propshaft bearings cant think of anything else it could be has anyone got any ideas and running out of them. Thanks Gary

underneath at the rear is a balance weight that my be loose due to age all you do is get a few cable ties and strap it up with them

ok found the balance weight, my wife sat in the car while I wiggled it and she said that the noise that the weight made was more of a surface/shallow noise whereas the clonk was more of a deeper noise (if that makes sense). thanks gary

If it sounds from underneath the car and it's on full or fairly full lock it might be transfer box needs recalibrating - simple job for man with IID. When mine needed doing I could also hear it dragging a wheel when slow manoeuvring on full lock. The event that led to it needing doing was a new track control arm
