Dull clunking noise

[Aidan136]

Afternoon everyone, I seem to have developed a dull clunking noise coming from the rear of the car, not affected by braking, definitely rotational, seems worse under accelaeration

Anyone had similar or the same?

Cheers.

Worn bushes?

[Aidan136]

Would the knocking from worn bushes increase in time with engine rpm?

Do you notice any slack in take up when coming on and off the throttle?

[Aidan136]

No it seems to drive exactly the same but with added knocking.

Engine rpm rather than road speed, ie slows again on gear changes?

[s6boy]

Worse under acceleration but still there when cruising?
Not noticeable when stationary and definitely from the rear?

Logically it could be the diff, cv joints or wheel bearings. When a bearing went in my diff it was more like a whine than anything else so hopefully not that.

The frequency definitely increases with rpm, Its not a whine, a dull clunking.

Cv joint ?

I will get it up on stands and have a play about, will update when I find it. Cheers
