Clunk in Suspension
Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2010 3:47 pm
Hi, my Bongo has developed a clunking noise in what I think is one of the front suspension springs or shock absorbers.
The noise only happens when I change direction and then apply the brakes. ie I stop, select reverse, and as I apply the brakes there is a clunk.
Similarly, when I then move forward and apply the brakes, it clunks again. It doesn't happen again, even over bumps or when braking, until I use reverse.
The mechanic says it is the spring or shock absorber settling back into position and that it is nothing to worry about...
Anyone else had this?
