E61 535D - Clonk when turning left
Discussion
Lets hear your predictions for the fault and the cost to repair then, it's booked in for next Wednesday for proper diagnosis?
When ever I turn left I get a single clonk / ping sort of noise that sounds like it's coming from the right rear wheel. Initially I just thought it was something rolling around in the back but I've chucked everything out and figured out the pattern to it happening.
A similar fault on a different car turned out to be a broken anti-roll bar linkage but from what I could see under the car those seem to be intact. Broken spring, shock absorber, bush, etc.? The ride doesn't seem to be affected in any way.
I'm now convinced the car is going to start falling apart on me having recently clocked 100k and that I'll be making the final payment on the loan I took out to buy it in the first place at the end of the month

Stupid thing has stopped making the noise now 
Went out for a drive over into Herefordshire with the family at the weekend and was pointing out the clonk to the missus, it was doing it on the way out but driving home no noise. On the drive into work this morning still no noise despite trying to provoke it. Could it have been caused by dirt or a bit of gravel or something else like that which has now been dislodged?
Do I keep the appointment with the garage and get them to give it a look over anyway or cancel? Sod's law dictates that if I do cancel it the noise will be back shortly after.
