mysterious clonk

[steveedge]

hi well i'm at a bit of a loss now bottom arms went bad on my v70 all the usual symptons diving left under braking etc after inspection changed arms shocks and mounts(top and bottom) drop links and n/s outer cv joint that had been clicking for weeks car now drives lovely and smoothly but i have a random clunk develop it happens when slowing but not just under braking when just coasting cant find any play anywhere other than a very small amount of movement at the top mounting bush(bulkhead to engine).
one small concern i have is that i had a hell of a game getting circlip to locate on cv and have a nagging doubt it may of come astray
the noise is a single clunk seems to be coming from n/s/f any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Just a thought.... could it be the outer rear suspension bush?

One of these beasties:

My off-side one went last year whilst visiting UK. Had it done in a Volvo Indie at £250!!! They are a pain to get out!

Symptoms were a 'clonk' occasionally over rough surfaces. Despite it being a rear suspension bush, the clonk felt like it was below the drivers footwell.

Have a look just forward of the rear wheel on the suspension arm thing. Should be a nice rubber bush. Mine was gleaming shiny metal on metal

Good luck.

they were next on my list anyway but sounds like just the noise sounds like its coming from passenger footwell perhaps i should swap them over first thanks for the idea

just got back from supermarket all the way there and back no noise the only difference today is that the roads are really wet
