gti1985 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 ok so since yesterday my car has started randonmly making a clunking oise, it sounded like the exhaust was hitting something but i checked it n its fine, the engine isnt flopping about and the suspensions just dandy. anyone got any ideas as to what it could be?The beeping noise is whenever you open the door or lock it or start the car etc its not so much a beeping as a ticking noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gti1985 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Ok so I stripped everything out of the back of the car and went a wee run, rattlings coming from bootlid, easy fix. But the clunkings coming from the front passenger side. How would I go about checking everything to see where its coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 When does it do it? When steering, over bumps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gti1985 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 When does it do it? When steering, over bumps etc. There's no specific time it just randomly does it and sometimes it doesn't. I can't pin it to 1 specific thing tbh, the guy I bought it from said he had just replaced the 9? Boots and wishbones or sumthing That was supposed to say cv not 9v lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Check the bolts are tight on the wishbones. Check the drop links (stick a lever bar to them and lever against them, they shouldn't make a noise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your caliper and carrier bolts. Infact, give the whole front suspension a spanner check, top nut included.
