no idea what it is or what is happening, but there is a major clunking noise coming from the drivers side. now the steering rack is old and needs replacement but im not 100% convinced its that. nothing seems to be loose or broken (that i can see) it happens during driving and taking off but once it hits 80km no noise what so ever :S any ideas? cheers southy |

CV's possibly. Does it get worse when turning? |

Engine steady, maybe  . Does it make the same noise if you lift your foot off the throttle and push it back down again ?
Is the noise constant whilst driving, or turning ?, or is i only there when you do certain things ? Could be a number of possible things . |

Doesn't happen when I turn but it does happen when I lift or put down the throttle |

Look at the basics bearings ball joints bushes incl engine steady and moujnts undo the ball joints and check the upper arm as bearing wear will do this as well. |

It could be the steering rack- If the rack bush is worn, the LH side can clunk. If the 2 belleville (`wave') washers are broken the RH side can clunk, but if it's this there will also be slack in the steering. |

I'm thinking rubber universals (that's if there's any cars left with them)

Suspension knuckle. Check plastic bowl is in place and that the knuckle isn't sitting out at an angle. |

If you buy one of those supposedly `new improved!'  racks and it sh!ts itself inside 12 months, take the bastard back to the supplier and complain!
They don't make `em like (or where) they used to. |
