Clunking from the rear

rstoughy · 07-09-2009, 03:31 PM

basically have what could only be described as a "donk" coming from the N/S rear while going round a right hand bend.

It almost sounds like something clunks everytime the wheel makes a full revoloution.

Not overly concerned but would quite like to get to the bottom of it.

Any common faults that id be best checking out first?????

Cheers,

check your rear springs, very common for snapping

Easy to check, jack up rear. remove wheel and inspect spring for broken coils

Will do,

Will get the wheels off it at the weekend and have a good poke around the rear end.

Just nice to have some ideas of "common" problems with them

Cheers,
