Bumpity Clunkity

[SupaStu]

Hi

My Glanza mumbles and bumbles from the front driver side wheel when going over small bumps like drains, potholes at slow speeds. The passenger side seems ok, but the other side vibrates a wee bit a and feels a bit clunky. I've coilovers on at the minute, just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this as would like to get fixed.

I am thinking it could be the lower ball joint needing replaced, any ideas?

Thanks

CV Joint?

DriveShaft?

Wheel Bearing?

The CV boots all look okay at the minute, how do you check for the others?

Wheel Bearing - try SHaking the Wheel With Hands - Grip From Each End... and see if there is any play?

Chek to see if your coilover is leaking oil coz its probally fooked.

Yeah i think it's your damper mate. Will need rebuilding coz it sounds like the seals have gone.

Make sure your coilovers are tight with the strut top, the main nut
And also check that the mounting bolts are all tight for the coilover

Thanks for the suggestions, I had a look at the coilover today, looks normal no excess fluid/grease, checked the topmounts and they are secure, and the wheel is secure when you rock if side to side, top to bottom etc. Drive boots look okay, nothing stands out.

Strange. Any other tips?

have you got a lsd on your car,some times it can be due to that.
