Technical clunking noise?

[Dan]

I get a horrible clunking noise when i reverse round to the left. What would that be? I'm guessing the bushes. Fine when going forward round sharp corners... If it is the bushes how easy are they to replace and am i better off doing both sides at once. Seen the other post, thats what gave me the idea.

Four hours! Bloody hell!
It has to be something else that is cheaper or it can stay like that. lol
Any ideas what it could be any1?

Where's the noise coming from, front or rear?

If it's a regular clunking from the front, could be a driveshaft joint gone.

 

[Dan]

Its definately the front. Does seem to be front left wheel sort of area if that helps?

 

[HP]

Could be balljoint, strut top mount, dead shocker, front bush (sounds rude!) or cv joint then.

 

[Dan]

Would all of them only occur when reversing then. Thats what threw me!

Will try some tight circles outside m house tonight. Neighbours will think i'm ****ed in the head, but never mind. lol
