Hi !
My Multi, 1.6 16v 1999, has stated to make a "cracking" sound just when the car is started in first gear.
I have just done a majour overhaul and changed the Clutch, all droplinks, ARB bushes and both front wishbones. It is not likely that any of these parts are generating the sound.
It sounds like the "cracking" noise is comming from the right hand shock absorber mounting, and it's only heard when the front of the car is rising when starting in first gear. The sound is not very loud, but could it be something that is about to break, e.g. the springs ?
