Hi there all.
My car is making a loud "cluck" noise when I accellerate hard and then the same noise if I brake hard??? I have replaced the control arms, the schocks and the car has a slightly dropped front suspension with firmer springs. If I accellerate normally all is fine....it`s just when I hammer the car. I have been under the car and i have tightened EVERY suspension bolt I could see, including the ones that hold the subframe to the body itself - still the same "clack" noise???
Any ideas on this anyone???

If it was making the noise under accelleration only I would think it could be, but it does the noise thing when I also just brake hard - therefore I tend to think more suspension???

I have replaced the complete control arms about 10 000KM`s ago. Granted these are not designed for 264KW/477NM on the front wheels The car has done 330 000KM, and I have never changed the "top shock" mountings....maybe I should look at this????Pir0 wrote:Wishbone bushes or loose wishbone back bolt. That, or the ball joint in the wish bones fooked. Could also be the strut top too thinking about it.

Thanks Pir0 - the top bolts on the shock mountings are tight - checked them. Will check out the control arms and bushes - hopefully nothing can "fall off the car" whilst running my 1/4 mile @ 180KM/H
