Rear clunk

[Richiebhoy]

Hi, I'm experiencing a clunk from the rear when I let the clutch out or accelerate. Done diff bolts, anti roll bar and anything that has a bolt head head on. Any ideas?

sounds like diff bushes.

....or a 19mm socket rolling around in the boot!

Top diff bush.

Loose or badly worn cv joints? But probably the diff bush.

It could be the top diff bush bracket broken. They are prone to break and very hard to spot it is broken until in it removed.

Hope your good with a spanner as the bush is fer to get out, heard stories of blood and guts being spilt to get it out

One of my diff plates had an elongated hole in it. The bolt, even when FT would not hold the diff in place. There is a huge amount of effective torque running though the diff. Might be worth a look.

Thanks for that, that was exactly the problem. Bushes had only done 4000 miles so beefed up plates, fitted one new bush on the side of play in plate, runs as smooth as anything now
