Suspension knocking and clunking

Post by boombastik » Fri May 16, 2014 8:08 pm

I keep getting an intermittent clunking and knocking from the suspension I can usually feel it under my feet and it's mostly happening at low speeds going over speed bumps or when the road surface changes at roadworks etc

Is this the DRC starting to fail or could it be suspension arm bushes?

Possibly best posting in a model specific area. What model do you have?
It's all torque talk.
