Suspension clonk when pulling away
Anyone got an annoying suspension clonk when pulling away from stationary ? Geoff. changed the lower suspension arms, ARB bushes, track rod ends and the drop links have been done as well.
I don't get any noise when I touch the brakes like I did when the lower arms had gone so I am at a loss

Think it is def suspension related - have checked the calipers recently and had the front pads and discs changed back in June.
Would have said lower arms but they are the tougher non LR ones.

How long is the "clunk" there? Tyre wear would be a good indicator of susp arm bushes if its a prolonged issue. Other than whats already been said, you could take a look at the rear knuckles and both ARB'S and links etc.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Yup - front end noise - strangely the tyre wear is even on this set and the geometry was aligned using hunter kit after the arms were done. Must be a "feature of this vehicle - from the day it left the factory i have had suspension issues lol
