Hi All
A while back I posted that I had issues with my car ‘clunking’ when going over speed bumps and pot holes, even if going over pot holes at a very low speed (I first noticed noice after its MOT but could’ve been that I’d alwys had music on). I took my car to a garage twice (2 different garages) and both said they couldn’t see anything that would cause the noise and drop links were fine.
It’s been a few months since I’ve let the noise bother me but after my boyfriend crashed his car a fortnight ago and he’s been driving my car, I’ve been driving my sisters cars and am jealous at how quiet theirs are. One sister has a 2014 fiat 500 and it’s almost Silent over bumps.
I’ve now started to stress about the noise again and googling have noticed ‘bump stops’ being mentioned. Could this be the cause of the clunking? Are they an MOT failure and could have been missed on my mot? Finally, if so how can I tell if mine are in need of replacement and how do I replace?
Thanks in advance
