So if I lift of the accellerator in the 1275LS at 80 or more I get a distinct clunk through the car. I am not sure if it is drivetrain because it sometimes seems to go right through the car so I wondered if it might be engine mounts. I'll have a look at the weekend but any ideas? I haven't noticed it before so it is a new issue. |

Check steady bar (dogbone) bushes, top steady mount face of firewall (these crack), engine mounts, also that the CV nuts are both still tight... |

Check ball joints too, though they normally make sounds at slower speeds. |

I had the same problem with my car. The steady bar opposite the brake and clutch cylinder was missing its nut and the one closest to the radiator was missing 1 of the 3 bolts that bolt into the firewall and missing 1 nut. I fixed it all up and no more clunking

I had this once as well in the Moke and it was a can of coke rolling forwards and backwards under the passenger seat

What bushes do you have in the engine steady bars , Neoprene or rubber ? I have used both and the rubber bushes are much less harsh as far as vibration resonating back thru the car, and last longer . Matty Read apparently sells a good quality rubber bush . |
