Hi Fellow Klunk Sufferers,
To solve my front suspension klunk (on a Marea Weekend 2003), I've just had the links from the anti-roll bar to the suspension struts replaced - cheap, easy do-it-yourself job. I noticed that the left link's lower ball joint was particularly worn, and that the last, forward-facing section of the anti-roll bar on the right had been polished by the tyre rubbing on full right steering lock. However, the klunk persists, so I'll now have the anti-roll bar bushes replaced. I have a downloaded technical manual, which shows the bar and its 2 brackets, but it's not clear if it's easy to remove the brackets and bushes, or if I'll need to have the whole subframe removed first, which could end up expensive in terms of labour. Can anyone confirm that this massive removal is really necessary?
Not sure about also taking measures to prevent lateral anti-roll bar movement. Maybe it needs to have some movement.
Incidentally, various mechanics have test-levered all other suspension joints and found no problem.
I'll keep you and all our fellow "deklunkers" informed.
